We took out at Corn Creek park last weekend, 8000 cfs, Baby Gap wave was in and very nice.
Here is the official link to the releases: https://apcshorelines.com/our-lakes/jordan/
Baby Gap comes into play at levels between 6000-8000 cfs.

http://www.coosariveradventures.com/ runs a shuttle for $10. They were kind enough to run an extra shuttle for me after their last normal one. According to them the river runs @ 2000 CFS weekdays with recreational releases much larger on the weekends. I ran it on a weekday...its a decent beginner run, nothing too scary but introduces them to most of the different things they'll face on other whitewater (wavetrains/holes etc). With a huge flatwater paddle on either side. I probably won't run it again on weekday flows in a WW kayak though...too much flatwater. It'd be a great run in an open canoe though.
Good times on the Coosa River
It was low but still fun.
Sorry for the poor picture quality

This is the wave to the left of the gap; the normal wave to the right was washed out at this level, but left a pretty cool 5ish foot wave train
