• Threshold postureGauge-linked range used for live scoring

  The cited route guidance is tied to this gauge and reach; hazards, closures, weather, and local inspection still override the score.

• Safety and land managementCurrent manager notices override this record

  This is a committing Class IV+ creek canyon with long technical rapids, frequent wood, landslide changes, and limited hike-out options. Use a proven Class IV/V crew with throw bags, rescue hardware, repair kit, first aid, and satellite communication. The Idaho Fish and Game conservation assessment identifies multiple public Lolo Creek access roads, and American Whitewater documents the BLM access parcel and bridge approach. Confirm that the Lolo Creek Road entry and Greer BLM landing remain open and legal before staging a vehicle. The direct gauge is useful context, not a safety guarantee. Treat 400 cfs as a conservative lower planning floor and 800-1,000 cfs as a preferred local range; inspect wood and current channel conditions at the selected flow before committing to the Class IV+ canyon.
