Suiattle

As of July 2007, the road is open with a detour around the washout at mile 6. At higher flows, there are no problems with logs - the bottom section is surprisingly clean and has very few braids. At lower flows, there may be some blocked channels in the first couple of miles, but you should have plenty of warning. The put-in at Rat Trap Bridge is now completely different from the photo. Logs piled up at the far end of what is left of the bridge, and pushed the channel to the right. The put-in is now at the base of the bridge on river right. Note that in the summer there are people who use the bridge for camping (at least until the commercial groups annoy them enough to wisen them up).
