0 - 140 cfs |
extremely Low-barely Low |
I-II(III) |
Pools (majority of river) may be paddled, but shoals will be a serious drag (portage). Not really 'whitewater' at these flows. |
140 - 250 cfs |
barely runnable-med runnable |
I-II(III) |
Low, but can be paddled. Expect some scraping (in shoals) at the low end of this range. |
250 -1000 cfs |
med runnable-a bit pushy runnable |
I-II(III) |
Good flows. |
1000 -3000 cfs |
a bit pushy runnable-high runnable |
I-II(III) |
High, pushy flows. Recommended for experienced paddlers, with more than one craft (at least two canoes or kayaks, three would be better). |
3000 -20000 cfs |
barely High-extremely High |
I-II(III) |
Super high and pushy. Highly experienced paddlers only, with proper knowledge and respect for the force of the river. |
