Log in to add an alertThere is new wood as of 13Feb2011. There is a river-wide tree down in the current about 40-50 yards above the eddy for the Jacuzzi portage. At a medium or higher flow you can go over it on River Left. Looks like you could go under it on River Right at a lower flow but we didnt investigate. Be careful.
