Delaware River Report: May 9, 2025

We woke up to some rain that should stay with us most all day. It’s not a heavy rain right now but will end up being a good amount by tonight. The release from Cannonsville is 40 cfs with roughly 3,500 cfs spilling over the top. As of 6 am the West Branch flow at Hale Eddy has actually dropped. That will change as the rain fill the feeders. The spill will also likely increase if the rain hits above the reservoir. It looks like Pepacton is also now spilling and the East Branch at Downsville flow is climbing. We have quite a bit or rain the forecast so keep an eye on the radar and the flows. There is a flood watch issued for our area. The rivers are not safe to wade. If you’re floating use your best judgement. The flows listed below are at 6 am. Click on the gauge links for the latest updates.
