0 - 150 cfs |
extremely Low-somewhat Low |
II+(III) |
Almost certainly too low for reasonable whitewater. (Flatwater may be paddled at almost any flow.) |
|
150 - 250 cfs |
somewhat Low-barely Low |
II+(III) |
Likely very marginal (gradient will be a scrape), but possible E.L.F. (Extreme Low Flow) run. (Likely 0' or less on Rainsville gauge.) |
|
250 - 500 cfs |
barely runnable-med runnable |
I-II(III) |
Low-boatable flow. Expect a bit of scrape, but some light play. (Perhaps 0'-0.5' on Rainsville gauge.) |
|
500 -1000 cfs |
med runnable-a bit pushy runnable |
II+(III) |
Low-moderate flows. (Perhaps 6" to 1' on Rainsville gauge.) |
|
1000 -2000 cfs |

II-III |
Moderate flows. (Perhaps 1' to 2' on Rainsville gauge.) |

High-moderate flows. (Perhaps 2' to 3' on Rainsville gauge.) |

High boatable flow. (Perhaps 3-4' on Rainsville gauge.) |

Flood levels! Extreme caution! (Likely over 6' on Rainsville gauge.) |
