Range Water Level Difficulty Comment 0 - 800 cfs extremely Low-barely Low I(II) Too low. 800 -1000 cfs barely runnable-med runnable II Low, but surfable. Eddies (and river) will be shallow and scrapey. 1000 -1250 cfs med runnable-a bit pushy runnable III Sweet play (and good eddies) at this flow. 1250 -1600 cfs med runnable-a bit pushy runnable III For many, this is the ideal level. River left is a surf wave and river center is a sticky hole. SUP-ers play the wave and 'yakers spin in the hole. 1600 -2000 cfs a bit pushy runnable-high runnable II Good surf, but as the flow gets higher it turns more into a green wave and becomes less of a play hole. 2000 -2600 cfs a bit pushy runnable-high runnable II In this range, there are generally no eddies, so repeat play is likely to involve carrying back above the feature. 2600 -9999 cfs a bit pushy runnable-high runnable I-II A wave with no holes. An eddy develops on river right as the water is over the cement barrier. The wave moves upstream as the flow increases.
