Releases are historically scheduled on a semi-annual basis, usually occurring on the third weekend in March and the first weekend in November. The whitewater releases from the Nockamixon State Park dam provide suitable whitewater boating conditions downstream through Ralph Stover State Park from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM each day (or later).
Usually not announced officially until a few days ahead of time, but almost always happens. https://rivercountry.net/nockamixon-dam-release/ is as close to an official announcement as we usually get. Free camping at River Country and launch permits only required normally if you annoy the rangers.

Been paddling since I could barely walk, but took up whitewater around 2014 after munching my kevlar canoe down some local class 2s. Will still paddle anything that floats a boat but prefer longer remoter runs, though in reality I mostly paddle the Mongaup, Moodna and Deerfield.
