| 2.5 ft | @ 5' Pretty low but still runnable. |
| 400 cfs | Runnable, not very fun for intermediate paddlers. Wildcat very friendly |
| 650 cfs | Good level at Wildcat, you can almost surf top wave. Middle hole good at Three Island |
| 1,000 cfs | good all around level |
| 2,500 cfs | Shelf-waves at put-in almost washed out, some good spots further up by bridge. Three Island, middle hole good for 360s but not enders. Wildcat very pushy & powerful. Good hole at old railroad bridge. Wave train at narrows strong & pushy. Beginner threshold. |
| 1900 cfs | = 4ft at the bridge. Nice surf waves at the put in. 3 Islands - undercut a bit retentive. Wildcat a bit munchy. Dam may be runnable on right- still scout it! Narrows big and bouncy. |
| 3200 cfs | = 4-1/2 ft at the bridge. Really nice surf waves at the put in. 3 islands pretty much covered. Wildcat had a run on River Left but looked rententive and not too safe. Lower lunch rocks covered so beware going too far right. Dam becomes a glassy wave, stay right. Narrows big and bouncy. Fast current. |
| 6 ft | @ 11.94' on lowell gauge - fast moving water, long swims possible. 3 islands good play. |
| 5.5 ft | @ 10.5' on lowell gauge - good play at wildcat and upstream of lowell bridge. |
| 7-8 ft | @ 15-21' on lowell gauge, 11,500 to 14,500 cfs - S turn has nice breaking wave that gives blunts |
