Green

Yoyo section is clean. Wood is easily spotted and most is not in the way. The left channel at the island below the surf waves has changed and is pretty much a no go

I float the Green from Flaming Geyser to the take out just above Hwy 18 which is about 8-miles. If the flow is below 800 cfs plan on dragging or portaging over gravel or around trees. Form 1000 cfs to 2500 cfs you shouldnt need to get off. At 800 cfs the drift takes about 5 hours if you dont stop for a nap. At 2500 cfs it should take you about 3.5 hours with a stop for a sandwhich.

New tree down on River right just down River from the upper put in by the restrooms. Easily spotted and avoidable on River left.

I reported the tree to KC parks. They're investigating removal options

At 3000 cfs this log is just above the surface. Keep left. It spans 2/3 of river right from the bank all the way out to the big rock.

Wood center River after the hard right bend under the park entrance bridge about 1/3 of the way down the rapid. It was fine today at 3750cfs, but looks like it's jammed in the rocks and may expose at lower flow. Left or right is open around it. You can see the branches sticking up from a good distance above it

New log spanning left channel of second to last island before the Whitney Bridge take-out. This island is marked with lots of logs on the upstream end which have been there for years. Right channel is clear. This island is adjacent to a roadside public access with chain-link fence beyond the shoulder parking. You can scout the right channel from this access while shuttling. If you know where to look, you can see the log at the bottom of the left channel from this access. At 1100cfs, we paddled and scraped over the log.

Reported by King County:

Yo-Yo stretch of Green River near Flaming Geyser State Park

King County has identified a spanning log on a stretch of the Green River within Flaming Geyser State Park which may pose a hazard to recreational boaters.

The recently fallen cottonwood tree lies partially submerged and completely spans the channel approximately 500 feet downstream from the put-in location known to boaters as the Yo-Yo stretch that runs from Flaming Geyser State Park to the Whitney Bridge (212 Way Southeast) and 300 feet north of the intersection of Flaming Geyser Road and the service road leading to the park ranger station.

Warning signs (see bottom photo) have been posted at two locations upstream from the log that directs boaters to exit the river. Boaters should note there is a lower put-in location in the park downstream of the log that avoids the fallen tree hazard. See map below.
