Butte Creek

There was more wood in Butte Creek than usual on Dec 11, 2022, yet no portages were necessary. The first one I remember was a short way below the put in, in the middle of the first set of ledges. The top was visible from above, and it was important to go right of it, this was the most dangerous log on the run, but easily avoidable by going right of it at the small horizon.

The next drop downstream of Coal Creek (small cascade on river right) also had an obvious log, we were able to run the small ledge into an eddy on the left in front of the log.

Splittin' Hairs (below the red bridge) was clean.

The next notable logs I remember are at the top of Knuckle Buster/Sucker and at the bottom of Knuckle Buster. Both were run, but are worth a look.

Another tight duck came later in the run, in a class II. This one would probably be a portage with much more water, but it also looks like it will flush away in the next high water event.

There was plenty of other wood present, but it did not detract from the run. I'd go back with the same configuration of wood.

There is aggresive signage on the private road to the put in about reservations being needed, but kayakers do still have permission to park in the open area before the fence at the Scout Camp without reservations at this time.
