Trip Reports
Log in to add a reportAs of May 2021, there's a strainer not far downstream of the covered bridge. It's too low to run now anyway, but just FYI
As of June 2014, there were 3 strainers we portaged, and one that was dicey. River was running bankfull (Wills was at 2500ish and dropping), so two of the strainers could probably be ducked at lower flows. They were all obvious from above.
A little video of the run

There were 3 strainers we had to portage around, but overall it was a beautiful run with a really fun rapid in the middle.

There is a tree across the stream about 1/3 way down the stream, its a little tough to see from upstream, but at the low level we paddled Brush, it was easy to eddy out before. We were able to get under it, but with more water you'd have to carry on the left. At high water the left channel would probably have enough water to paddle down and avoid the tree.
