Applegate River, Middle Fork

We had a beautiful day on the Middle Fork Applegate with three kayaks (Tom, Scott, and Jeff), two packrafts (Kevin and Megi), and an R2 (Bill and Bob). We ran from below the waterfall just above the confluence of Cook and Green Creek. We portaged the Undercut Chute by walking up to the road and putting in below. We continued down to the next bridge just above the reservoir. Inflow on the reservoir of 1160 was a good flow on the lower side of medium. The run was busy class III with good eddies although most were smaller than the whole group could catch. We encountered one large log near the start of the run that was easy to float under. Closer to the reservoir a river-wide log completely blocked the channel in a narrow bedrock chute but we were able to reposition it and the run is free of wood hazards.
