A few logs span the river just upsteam of the 86th St. bridge in Preston. You can easily scout this from the bridge during shuttle, and decide if you want to put in here or upstream at the usual 'under I-90' put-in. Below here there was one large log limbo move in the braided section just above Icy Creek. At higher levels this limbo might not go, but portaging looked to be straight forward. There was a channel-wide log right at the confluence of Icy Creek that could be paddled over or carried. With more water you might not even notice this log... Everything below here was fairly clean. Sure, there's some wood, but everything was easily avoidable.
