extremely Low-somewhat Low |
I-II(III) |
Too low for reasonable whitewater experience. Rapids will be a total scrape.
|
|
150 - 250 cfs |
somewhat Low-barely Low |
I-II |
Very low. May be worth a float trip but you will scrape a lot. Park-and-play is marginal at Falls Road and minimal at Lime Kiln Park.

I-II |
Low flow. May scrape in a few areas. Falls Road: minor play, LKPWave: marginal play. (Below LKPWave will be shallow/rocky making this feature tough to regain.) |
|
600 -1250 cfs |
med runnable-a bit pushy runnable |
II(III) |
Moderate flows. Falls Road & LKP Wave a bit pushy for novice paddlers; May offer some practice/play for intermediates; Not optimum wave or eddy. |
|

Falls Road: Some fine catch-on-the-fly surfs. LKPWave: likely playable, but not optimum.

High flows. Falls Road: mostly a fast flush. LKPWave: perhaps *optimum* for experienced/aggressive boaters.

II-III+ |
Falls Road: big, pushy, awesome (with the right equipment to do it). LKP Wave: much less playable than at 1500-2500. |
|
3500 -4500 cfs |
somewhat High-somewhat High |
II-III+ |
May be run (with proper whitewater knowledge, skill, and equipment). Very likely no play possible nearly anywhere. |
|
4500 -6000 cfs |
somewhat High-somewhat High |
II-III+ |
Falls Road will be HUGE (fast, and brief)! All else likely just a fast flush. Highly experienced whitewater boaters only! (Better runs elsewhere!) |
|
6000 -9999 cfs |
somewhat High-extremely High |
II-III+ |
Outrageously high. Big waves, but a fast flush. Likely no repeat play anywhere. (If this is this high, there are likely better options elsewhere in area!) |
