Starting from below the waterfall, there was one log portage just downstream of the older putin. There was another log portage about in the middle of the fun, class 3 rapids in the middle of the run. There was a significant and dangrous log in Shoo Fly, the rapid where the river splits around an island and then comes back together again before a powerful hole on the left. The log is in the ouflow if you get caught in that hole. There is a sneak down the right but a log blocks the upper section of the right channel. We started the left channel and then portaged to the right channel about halfway down the island.

All in all, a fun level.
