Rivercast - River Levels App

Storm on the way? Hitting the water? Track river levels and forecasts near you!

Features & Capabilities

Rivercast puts official NOAA river data at your fingertips with interactive maps and hydrographs. Whether you’re a boater, paddler, property owner, or just curious about your local waterways, Rivercast makes it easy to see current river levels, forecasts, and trends. Highlights include official flood warnings, river stage height in feet, flow rate in CFS when available, color-coded status (normal, rising, or flooding), current observations and recent history, and interactive gauges and graphs. Premium users can set custom push alerts when a river reaches a chosen level. The app also includes NOAA forecasts (when available), an interactive map of nearby gauges, search by waterway name, state, or NOAA station ID, and zoomable charts with adjustable reference lines and a favorites list.

Rivercast is powered by NOAA observation and forecast data and requires an internet connection. Data are shown in feet or CFS in your local time, with notes explaining occasional variations between sources and what is forecast versus observed. The tool is designed for boaters, fishermen, property owners, paddlers, scientists, and marine professionals who need clear, reliable river information; USA-only gauges are displayed. Features like a dark theme, home screen widget, sharing of graphs, and easy navigation make it practical for quick checks anywhere, anytime.

As a captain on the major rivers in the U.S. I rely on river stages every day, multiple times a day. I have used a different app for 10+ years, but I found this app a couple months ago because the other one has become so unreliable. I love this one. The layout is easier to use, and it loads 3x faster than my old one. I've already recommended Rivercast to several other captains!

Users can configure 4 levels of personalized permanent reference values for water levels to display on graph such as flood stage levels for property owners, or Too High-High-Med-Low levels for activities such as fishing or kayaking. Can set notifications for official flood stage actionable levels or multiple personalized levels.
