Nisqually

Ran the river on 03/24/11 at 2200 CFS. Almost immediately after the put-in, under the first railroad bridge, there is a log spanning across the left channel. This is very easy to avoid by taking the right side under the bridge. Also, at the second railroad bridge (which comes about a third of the way into the trip as the river makes a sharp left bend) there is a log spanning across the left channel. The log is elevated and you could easily go under it in an IK at this level, and probably also in a raft, but it's best to just run the right channel instead to be sure to avoid it. No other major hazards were seen on the river. Good level for an IK with a few decent sized waves and some good surf spots.
