2500 CFS and it was definitely way too much for an open canoe. Water was swamping in badly. There
were really big holes and waves in some spots. We flipped after .3 miles and had to swim out of the
current to the bank. Might be possible in a kayak, but it would still be really difficult. Be
careful! Edit
