KDFWR lists a 50–300 cfs / 1.3–2.5 ft boating and fishing band at Fisherville; its education guide gives a broader 35–500 cfs recreation range. Treat these as source recommendations, not safety guarantees. The Parklands asks paddlers to use marked landings only and posts current access notices, including closures. Verify the selected trip's gauge, access, and shuttle before launch.
Compare the current KDFWR access and level guide with The Parklands recommended-route map and its current paddling and access notices. The sources differ slightly on some adjacent-leg mileages; each route guide keeps the source for its exact endpoints and distance.
