Introduction

The calendars below describe the "recreational releases" tentatively scheduled for the Tallulah River below Tallulah Dam in 2012.  Note that by passing your cursor over the colored calendar cells the release information will appear in a pop-up text window.

Gage Information

Scheduled releases ordinarily occur the first two weekends in April and the first three weekends in November.  Saturdays 500 cfs is released and Sundays 700cfs.  Boaters are allowed on the water once the level stabilizes, which is about 9:30am;  the water is turned off at 4pm.  American Whitewater negotiated these releases;  you are a member, right?

Notes

Note:  Releases have been cancelled in the past due to drought and, in November 2010 and Spring 2011, a broken flood gate on the dam.  Confirm releases on the Georgia State Parks Tallulah Gorge website.
