Lewis, N. Fork

On a spring break trip to Cougar we had a chance to do this run at 800 cfs and 1000 cfs. Both were fun 800 cfs was on the low side. All the rapids were still fun. There were half a dozen gravel bars we had to bump down at the lower flow. These were a little less bumpy at 1000 cfs. Big Creek Gorge was clean and good to go aside from some wood in play in a couple of spots along the right. We tried the mountain biking trail on river right but encountered quite a few trees across the trail and a lot of hike-a-bike. We saw a group hiking the trail with a chainsaw, cutting out logs as they went, so it may be clear later in the season.
