Northwest California river temperatures are in the 50s and low 60s, which is as cold as the ocean! Swimming in water this cold can cause you to lose muscle strength and control. This makes swimming in cold rivers very dangerous. Enjoy your visits to the river by staying dry.

A big warm up is expected this week with a taste of summer-like temperatures. If you plan to seek relief by recreating in an area lake, river, or stream, remember that it is still March and the water is COLD. Our lakes, rivers, and streams are fed by snowmelt, and the water remains significantly colder than the surrounding air. Be sure to wear a life jacket because water at these temperatures can cause cold water paralysis and lead to drowning.
