High water levels in the Encampment and upper North Platte Rivers

 .Hydrologic Summary...
We are approaching the peak of snowmelt runoff for the year. Waters
in the Encampment and upper North Platte Rivers above Seminoe Dam
are running high. Both Rivers are at bankfull conditions. The
Encampment River sooner than the North Platte. Please use caution
when on or near rivers and streams. High waters during snowmelt can
be cold and energetic and that increases the hazards in the event of
falling in. High waters can also make stream banks unstable.
