SJCP will not open canoe/kayak rental when the river conditions are deemed unsafe. We use streamflow at the dam in Niles, MI as the main determining factor. How fast a river or stream is flowing is measured in cubic feet per second (CFS). In general, the larger the volume, the faster the water is moving and submerged debris may add to the danger.
