Whitewater Rafting River Mile 0?

Hi all, if you had your perfect whitewater rafting map series how would you like to see the river miles displayed. Would you choose to have river mile 0 at the mouth or confluence? OR, would you want river mile 0 at the furthest upstream put-in or launch site? I understand USGS and government agencies use the confluence or mouth. This seems to be a point of contention among rafters. What would be your choice and why?

Kicking upstream in some current

This is Maiden's Landing on the James River, West of Richmond, Virginia. Pretty day for 3 up 3 back.

Jordon river West Michigan kayaking club

What an amazing weekend on the Jordan River Kayaking & Hiking Adventure with the West Michigan Kayaking Club! 🚣🥾🌲

We had a fantastic time exploring one of Michigan’s most beautiful rivers and trails. From the crystal-clear water and peaceful forests to the incredible people who shared the adventure, every mile was worth it.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make our first annual Jordan River adventure such a memorable experience. We can’t wait to do it again next year!

Wild Rivers. Rugged Trails. Real Adventure

Some fun with an inland vessel.

On our last trip, an inland tanker came towards us on the Elbe. These vessels always create a nice stern wave that is perfect for surfing—provided they are traveling in the same direction as you. This particular tanker was empty and moving a bit faster than usual, so the wave was somewhat higher and steeper than normal.
