Low (under 800 cfs), Good (800 cfs to 1,700 cfs), High (over 1,700 cfs).
Flow is the spill over the Deerfield #4 Dam, reported through Waterline (site 255124). The powerhouse is far downstream and does not feed this run.
No published recreational release calendar exists for Dam #4; the app shows only the Waterline short-term forecast.
Warning: continuing downstream into Shelburne Falls means Deerfield #3 Dam and the Glacial Potholes; American Whitewater says do not run Dam #3 when its flashboards are out.
