WARNING!!!
For those of you who know the river, as of 10/12/06' the snowmobile bridge just above the big drop has collapsed and is now a river-wide strainer. It's a nasty mess of logs and iron cable. The collapse itself is not visible from the pool just above the rapid, but you can see the remains of the top of the bridge, so just beware... Walk this one!
ALSO
Below the big drop, where the river turns into a tight boogie section, there are quite a few trees down. The FIRST section of that boogie section is good, BUT you've got to catch the first eddy you can on river right. There's a nice strainer just around the bend, so you may want to take a peak.
Other than all that, we had a killer run at a mediium/high flow and would love to get back in there soon. Safe Paddlin - Colin
