Cedar River

My friend and I packrafted the Cedar on Feb. 19, 2020. I recently moved to Renton and was very curious what the river looked like after the recent floods. We had to portage 6 or 7 times, floating from Landsburg out to the mouth in Lake Washington. The biggest (and first) logjam came in the Dorre Don Natural Area where the oxbow was punched through at 231st Pl SE. There's a huge debris field with the river flowing through it, followed by a strainer 50 yards downstream. I didn't mark the location of every strainer, but there are also 2 blocking logs at Cavanaugh Pond, where another oxbow was blown through. A fun float with lots of mergansers, dippers, kingfishers, and bald eagles (all in the vicinity of the dump). It took us about 6 hours from Landsburg to our takeout near Kennydale Beach with a flow of around 950 CFS.
