A group of 8, all in packrafts did this reach on 6/17/2023. At 420cfs/1.5' gauge height flow was very low and there were a handful of short sections too shallow to navigate without scraping. There were also a couple short stretches requiring dragging boats (maybe 50 yards total?). Near the end of the run, at 47.703646, -122.920636 there is a full-width tree, but it is obvious, the current is calm, and the portage is easy. The tree is free of limbs on the topside and with 1+' of higher flow you would cruise right over it. Very worthwhile doing even at these flows (at least for packrafts).
