0 - 100 cfs extremely Low-somewhat Low I gauge is important or has warning No whitewater! (May be paddled as flatwater, but likely a total grunge at any areas of shoals and rapids.)
100 - 200 cfs somewhat Low-barely Low I gauge is important or has warning Likely a low-boatable flow. Shoals/rapids may still be a 'grunge', but otherwise ok.
200 - 300 cfs barely runnable-med runnable I(II) gauge is important or has warning Low boatable. Likely a few grungy areas in some shoals, but most will be fine.
300 - 500 cfs med runnable-a bit pushy runnable I-II gauge is important or has warning Likely nearly optimum flows.
500 -1000 cfs a bit pushy runnable-high runnable I-II gauge is important or has warning Rather high-ish flows. Best for fairly experienced whitewater boaters. Caution is needed to be aware of deadfall and bridges which may need to be portaged.
1000 -2000 cfs somewhat High-somewhat High I-II gauge is important or has warning Very high and pushy flows. Mostly washed out (though a wave or two may be found). Extreme caution! Be aware of deadfall and bridges which may need to be portag
2000 -9999 cfs somewhat High-extremely High I-II gauge is important or has warning NOT RECOMMENDED. River is in flood. A bridge (and any deadfall) will be very dangerous.
