0 - 120 cfs extremely Low-barely Low I-II gauge is important or has warning Awfully low. (Below -5" on paddlers gauge.) Super scrapey.
120 - 225 cfs barely runnable-med runnable I-II(III) gauge is important or has warning Very low flow (-5" to 0" on bridge gauge); Still boatable and can be fun, but generally pretty scrapey.
225 - 430 cfs barely runnable-med runnable II-III gauge is important or has warning Low-to-moderate flow; ~0-6" on bridge gauge.
430 - 714 cfs med runnable-a bit pushy runnable II-III+ gauge is important or has warning Intermediate flows; ~6-12" on bridge gauge.
