What does the Outdoors Dashboard do?

The Outdoors Dashboard gives you a real-time Go/No Go score for a South Georgia trip. Check live river levels, current weather, active wildfire alerts, and solunar activity for rivers, WMAs, lakes, and campgrounds—all in one place so you can decide if today is good for fishing, hunting, or camping.

Each destination card shows current conditions and a score that answers one question: should I go today? High scores mean water levels are right, weather looks stable, fires aren't nearby, and animal activity is strong. Low scores flag flooding, storms, smoke, or dead-calm times when you'd waste the trip.

The dashboard pulls from the same live river, weather, and wildfire feeds that power other riktom tools, unified so you can compare multiple destinations at once. Whether you're scouting a new lake, checking a favorite WMA, or planning next weekend's campground trip, the dashboard cuts through the research.

How to use it

Browse the list of rivers, WMAs, lakes, and campgrounds. Each shows a Go/No Go score, today's conditions, and the data behind the score—water level vs. normal range, temperature and rain forecast, any active fire alerts, and whether fish or game activity is expected. Click through to state parks, recreation.gov, or Explore Georgia for booking links and more details. Compare two destinations to find the best option for your plans.

Where the data comes from

River levels and conditions come from live stream gauges and official water data. Weather is pulled from current conditions and next-day forecasts. Wildfire and burn alerts are tracked from official sources. Solunar activity is calculated from astronomical data for fish and game activity patterns. All updates hourly so your Go/No Go score reflects today's real conditions, not yesterday's snapshot.

Common questions

What does the Go/No Go score mean?
Go means conditions are favorable for your planned activity—good water levels, safe weather, no smoke, and active wildlife. No Go means at least one factor is stacked against you—high water, incoming storms, fire alerts, or quiet game times.

Can I filter by activity type?
Yes—sort by fishing, hunting, camping, or mixed use to see destinations best suited to what you want to do today.

How often does the data update?
Conditions update hourly so your score stays current through the day. If you're heading out mid-morning, refresh before you leave to catch any overnight changes.
