- The project reports 186 listings with a live river gauge and names 130 land managers.
Field notes
Listings combine practical trip details with source attribution: the visible examples name public agencies, parks departments, and other land managers. The directory distinguishes waterfall, river and creek, spring-fed, and canyon pools, and says each listing includes the date it was last checked. It also says 874 researched spots appear as references on nearby listings, beyond the 218 counted in the main directory.
