⚠ Tributary
ⓘ Tributary flow, not dam generation.
Crooked Creek and the Buffalo River both flow into the White River — Crooked Creek
near Yellville (~20 mi below Bull Shoals), the Buffalo River at Buffalo City (~40 mi below).
Any gauge on those tributaries is measured above their confluence with the White River.
The elevated CFS at downstream White River gauges reflects normal tributary input —
not generator output. Good context for wading and float planning.
ⓘ USGS updates every 15 min. Hwy 341 USACE updates hourly. Pulse thresholds: below confluence >4,000 CFS, Calico Rock >5,000 CFS. Downstream gauges include flow from Crooked Creek and Buffalo River — both enter between Bull Shoals Dam and Hwy 341.

ⓘ The Little Red River below Greers Ferry is a world-class tailwater trout fishery running ~35 miles to Searcy. Sweet spot for wading and fly fishing is 100–200 CFS. At one unit (~3,500 CFS) the river adds ~4.5 ft of depth and wading is dangerous.

About This Tool
The White River Flow tool tracks water releases from Bull Shoals Dam and projects when the roll — the downstream wave of rising water — will arrive at eleven checkpoints from State Park (1.5 mi) to Red’s Landing (49 mi). It also projects when water will peak, begin falling, and return to low levels at each location, and provides a multi-day generation outlook for trip planning based on current SWPA data.

Historical Travel-Time Data
Downstream arrival times are calculated using established water travel speeds
for the White River tailwater (2.5–3.25 mph depending on generation level)
and a fall-front travel rate of approximately 2.0 mph.
⚠ Safety Notice
This tool provides the best available information from official government sources and established river data, but water levels on the White River can change rapidly and without warning. Generation schedules may be altered at any time by the Army Corps of Engineers or SWPA. Arrival time projections are estimates only — actual conditions may differ due to changes in generation rate, river conditions, or upstream factors.
Never wade or enter the White River tailwater without first confirming current conditions. Rising water can be swift and dangerous. When in doubt, get out — or don’t get in.
For real-time confirmation, call the Army Corps hotline at 870-431-5311 or SWPA at 866-494-1993. Local outfitters who know their stretch of river are always your best resource.
