Sauk

7 of us put in at Whitechuck and paddled down to Backman County Park. 4 hardshell kayaks, 1 IK, and 1 R2. The water was unusually clear but very cold. The only notable wood hazard is the previously-reported log in Whirlpool. When you look at it from the road, it looks like there's room to get by it, but the current is pushing you straight into it, so it's much safer to take the left channel. The raft hung up once in that left channel at this flow, but it was easily un-stuck.
