Gauge Context Bands
These bands are derived from official USGS recent daily values where available. They are not verified local paddling beta and should not be treated as a go/no-go safety decision.
| Band | Value | Meaning on PaddleGauge |
|---|---|---|
| Low context | 25 cfs | Below this is usually below the recent gage context. |
| Middle context starts | 30 cfs | Often within the recent middle range for this gage. |
| Middle context tops out | 53 cfs | Above this, re-check local guidance and hazards. |
| High context | 92 cfs | High compared with recent readings; not a safety rating. |
