June 8, 2024 @ 1200 cfs Landsburg to Lake Washington in 4.5 hours. About 1:00 from start, at Dorre Don I took the old (Right) channel which was passible at 1200 CFS, but bony. I did not scout the logjam in the new Left channel at Dorre Don but I expect it is still unsafe. I portaged on right at log jam about 1:10 from start. At 2:20 I floated over a still green spanning tree that may be dangerous at lower flows. I got out to scout two more places, but did not have to portage. At 1200 cfs, many eddies are washed out, there are fewer beaches and bars, some holes where there are usually large rocks. When flow is this high class 3 maneuvering skill may be required to land and portage.
