RiverHazards, with the detail that matters
Each hazard carries its type, severity, the date it was seen, evidence photos, and how many paddlers have confirmed it.
Community data
Every note has a date, a place, and a paddler behind it.
Every photo, hazard, and access note is tied to a place and a date — so you can see what's recent, confirm what's still true, and flag what's changed since you were last there.
How it stays fresh
Built to show its age.
- Reports that fit what you're sharing — hazards, access notes, condition reports, and photos each capture the right detail, and the ones that go stale fastest are flagged first.
- Freshness you can see — recent reports, last-confirmed dates, and staleness flags tell you at a glance whether information can still be trusted.
- Looked after by the community — confirmations, disputes, and light moderation keep sensitive and safety-relevant information honest.
What you can add
Contributions with structure.
Access notes, practical and sensitive
Access notes cover the practical stuff and the sensitive stuff — parking, permissions, licences, and local access etiquette.
Photos, pinned to the real thing
Every photo is attached to a river, access point, hazard, or report, so you know exactly what you're looking at.
Safety language matters to us. RiverLaunch shows recent reports, known hazards, last-confirmed dates, and how certain we are — and never tells you a river is safe, approved, or guaranteed to be passable. The decision is always yours, on the day.
Add what you find
Paddled it? Improve the map.
Add a report, a photo, or a hazard from the bank — even with no signal, it syncs when you're back — and keep the information fresh for the next crew.
