Platte River, NE
Thread the amber gates (a miss costs two seconds), dodge the rocks, and get to the bottom fast.
AceDustyRook run the same course. Beat them to the line.
Arrows or WASD: steer, throttle up, ease off. R restarts. On touch, hold the water to throttle up: drag sideways to steer, drag down to ease off. Off a ledge, hold sideways to spin or up and down to flip, and land it clean for a boost. Hold Space through a bend to slide the stern out, and let go for a burst of speed. On touch, a second thumb or the Drift button slides. Tricks, shaves, gates and drifts fill the nitro; hold Shift to burn it, or the Nitro button on touch.

Open simulatorHow it works
The course is a real river from the map. It follows that river’s real course line and its real elevation drop, and the speed, wave size, and rock count come from its live USGS streamflow. Low water is slow and rocky; big water is fast and wavy.
Today’s water
- Flow: 24,500 cfs
- Gauge height: 5.99 ft
- Water temp: 63°F
- Gauge: Platte River at Louisville, Nebr.
A game, not a guide
This is a stylized time trial. The gates and rocks are invented, and nothing here says anything about how hard or safe the real river is. Real conditions change fast, so check the river’s page and local guidance before you get near actual water. See the real Platte River.
Section names like The Straightaway are our labels for the shape of this line, not what locals call it.
