Best boatable flows for this reach are unknown, though I would expect (due to lack of large falls or significant gradient) it is floatable most of the year.
"Minimum" listed here is just a wild guess to get 'color-coding' for this reach.

The cited gauge is at the take-out for this reach, thus provides very accurate info about the flow at that point.
