Log in to add a reportPut in at 100ish cfs
There is a gage at the put in, was 140cfs when I put on and 130 when I got out. One easy portage on paddle in. Portaged the fish ladder on river left, easy re-entry right below. One small log in first gorge against river right wall in first drop, fairly easy to avoid, one log hazard a bit before second gorge, sneaks up around a blind corner after some boogie rapids, paddle to river left quick to jam up over the rocks and slide around it. Second gorge clean and fun, one easy portage in the flat water paddle through the sticks at the end. I think 4-5 easy portages total.
Ran this a month prior in a packraft at 100 cfs, moved a few logs but couldn't get them all, was a fun packraft level probably wouldn't go any lower.
The left side of the river at Off the Wall Rapid is highly undercut.
Wood can end up anywhere.
