Sauk

Ran this today @2000cfs with one packraft, two SUPs, and one hardshell kayak. Only the last drop would likely prove too challenging for an advancing beginning in the II+ range (can exit above this via Beaver Lake Trail), but this run often has wood hazards. As of today there is a river wide tree with limbs hovering one foot above water roughly midway through the run on a hard right bend into a headwall, just past Falls Creek confluence. An easy portage on river right above the bend if you ferry early. Once running the bend the right side is shallow, making it difficult to power to the intended eddy on the inside of the corner, resulting in being pushed toward the tree. Thankfully, there is a small eddy just before the tree on river left, big enough for about two kayaks. Tree can portaged on river left with some scrambling.
