virtual-237648	100 - 500 cfs	II+(IV)	00h45m	~ 0.07000017 cfs (too low)
	Almost certainly too low for reasonable run of upper section.
Virtual gauge for KK upstream of 30th (subtracting Wilson Ck from KK at 11th).
Range Water Level Difficulty Comment 0 - 100 cfs extremely Low-barely Low II+(IV) Almost certainly too low for reasonable run of upper section. 100 - 200 cfs barely runnable-perfect runnable II+(IV) Likely low-to-moderate flows in upper section. 200 - 500 cfs perfect runnable-high runnable II+(IV) Likely moderate-to-high flows for upper section. 500 -1000 cfs somewhat High-somewhat High II+(IV) Unusually high flows. Caution advised. 1000 -9999 cfs somewhat High-extremely High II+(IV) Extremely high flows.
Kinnickinnic River (Milwaukee) Winter Gauge
virtual-211969	0.70 - 2.45 ft	II+(IV)	00h45m	~ -1.02 ft (too low)
	Extremely low, unboatable.
Winter gauge is LIKELY to be ice affected. EXPECT it to give errant readings. Carefully check for ice flows and ice shelves.

Possibly marginal, low-boatable flow. (More likely TOO LOW.) 0.70 -1.03 ft barely runnable-med runnable II+(IV) POSSIBLY 200-300 cfs. POSSIBLY low-to-low-moderate flow. 1.03 -1.28 ft med runnable-a bit pushy runnable II+(IV) POSSIBLY 300-400 cfs. POSSIBLY low-moderate to high-moderate flows. 1.28 -1.53 ft a bit pushy runnable-high runnable II+(IV) POSSIBLY 400-500 cfs. POSSIBLY high-moderate to high flows. 1.53 -2.45 ft a bit pushy runnable-high runnable II+(IV) POSSIBLY 500-1000 cfs. Likely freight-train flush with few eddies or slackwater to control your run. (Upper section: may be marginal to ideal.) 2.45 -3.14 ft somewhat High-somewhat High II+(IV) Possibly 1000-1500 cfs. Very high flows. Very fast flush. (Upper Section: Likely good flow, ~100-150 cfs.) 3.14 -9999.00 ft somewhat High-extremely High II+(IV) Likely in excess of 1500 cfs. Dangerous, uncontrollable flush down a cement sluice.(Upper Section: Likely good flow ~150-265 cfs.)
KINNICKINNIC RIVER @ S. 11TH STREET @ MILWAUKEE,WI
usgs-04087159	200 - 1200 cfs	II+(IV)	00h43m	2.43 cfs (too low)
	Too low for any reasonable whitewater.
Gauge (18.8 sq.mi. drainage) is at S.11th Street, mid-run. Flow is very flashy and will change while setting shuttle and running!
Range Water Level Difficulty Comment 0 - 100 cfs extremely Low-somewhat Low II+(IV) Too low for any reasonable whitewater. 100 - 200 cfs somewhat Low-barely Low II+(IV) Lower (listed) section: Boatable, but barely whitewater. (Upper section: Far too low.) 200 - 300 cfs barely runnable-med runnable II+(IV) Lower (listed) section: Moderate Flow.

(Upper section: Likely too low.) 600 - 900 cfs a bit pushy runnable-high runnable II+(IV) Lower Section: High flows. Caution! Scout all before putting on! *** Upper section: may be marginal to ideal. 900 -1200 cfs a bit pushy runnable-high runnable III-IV Lower Section: Unusually high flows. Likely to be a rush flush. Also increasing likelihood of CSO! (Upper Section: Likely good flow, ~100-150 cfs.) 1200 -2000 cfs somewhat High-somewhat High II-IV(V+) Lower Section: Peaking (but not 'record') flows make unreasonable hazards on this run. GO ELSEWHERE!!! (Upper Section: Likely good flow ~150-265 cfs.) 2000 -9999 cfs somewhat High-extremely High IV-V(V+) Near annual-record type flows. While unlikely to be sustained for long, will make extreme hazard on this run. GO ELSEWHERE!!!
