Read the water
before you drive to it.

Five intelligence layers over 494 named public waters. Declare the job you are actually doing, and the instrument ranks the water that fits it — then prints the same-day checks you have to clear before you go.

The stack

Five layers,
each one honest
about its edge.

Every layer carries a confidence figure and a list of what it still cannot see. Nothing is inferred to fill a gap.

01
Access & legality
Published facilities, closures, directory-level networks, and the line where public corridor ends.
02
Conditions & hazards
Standing hazard families the water is known for — wind fetch, tide, level swing, traffic. Never a forecast.
03
Capacity & crowding
Documented pressure on parking, ramps and hours. Patterns, never live occupancy.
04
Seasonal & regulatory pressure
Where rules move with date, section and vessel — and where jurisdiction changes under you.
05
Field-check requirement
The same-day work you must complete. Incomplete means not-go.

Guided

Declare the job.
Take the water that fits.

Bank, kayak, small boat, scouting, tournament-adjacent or a family day — with your time window, gear and wind tolerance applied before anything is ranked.
