More rocks have been visible in the Yampa River in recent weeks, as flows have diminished to near 40 cubic feet per second. That should change along this stretch of the river near the Brooklyn Neighborhood in Steamboat Springs on Tuesday, a day after releases from Stagecoach Reservoir meant to boost flows.

Flows in the Yampa River dropped to near 40 cubic feet per second on Sunday afternoon just a quarter of the amount of water flowing the same day last year.
The water’s temperature eclipsed 80 degrees last Thursday and has often been well over 75 degrees in the past week the temperature that closed the river to recreation earlier this month.
Environmental releases from Stagecoach aimed at boosting flows, cooling temperatures in Yampa River
