100 - 200 cfs somewhat Low-barely Low I(III) gauge is important or has warning Way too low for full run. 8' may be worth a park-and-play. 18' and 12' will be boat abuse.
200 - 300 cfs barely runnable-med runnable I(III) gauge is important or has warning Too low for Bull Falls, OK for 18', 12', 8'.
300 - 400 cfs med runnable-a bit pushy runnable II-IV gauge is important or has warning Good (perhaps 'optimum') flows for 18', 12', and 8' -- Bull Falls will be a bit grungy.

500 -9999 cfs barely High-extremely High III+(V) gauge is important or has warning Unusually high. Look very carefully at holes at base of drops. Have safety people (with throw ropes) ready.
