Snoqualmie, S. Fork

There's really no info in the guidebooks about the South Fork below the class II+ run, but it's worth knowing about.

The SF is runnable down to the confluence with the Middle Fork. There are a few rapids, but they are mostly above the first bridge in North Bend. After that, the gradient begins to slacken.

A couple of miles below the last bridge, the river turns sharply left and you'll probably see some snags, which are dropped by the river when the current slows. From that point until the confluence, there will be several logjams, which may or may not be passable. This stretch changes drastically from year to year, and there's no way to know what it's like.

In this stretch, it's possible to see herons and bald eagles.

Once you reach the confluence with the Middle Fork, the main Snoqualmie continues down into the town of Snoqualmie. You can take out at the confluence, or continue down to another convenient takeout.

This run is best at over 1000 cfs, but it's probably not a good idea to run it over 1500 cfs unless you've already run it once.
