The Lesse is back above its 1.5 m³/s navigation threshold.
1.85 m³/s on 30/06 0.76 m³/s today
At 1.85 m³/s the river sits at the low end of its navigable range. The current stays weak: expect more paddling than in spring and a descent longer than the posted time. A few shallow sections may mean stepping out of the boat for a couple of metres.
The level still depends on the weather over the coming days. If your trip is not imminent, check the flow the day before — it is the same SPW reading, updated every fifteen minutes.
