Suiattle
2. Rat Trap (FR 25) Bridge to Sauk River
March 3, 2020
Several Log Jams
| Reporter | Jason Colberg |
WARNING! Last time I ran the Suiattle River, the Rat Trap Bridge to Sauk River Bridge section, March 3, 2020, there were six logjams. We rope-portaged the all, but it was tricky and definitely unexpected as I have run this section about 70 times and never encountered anything as dangerous or time consuming. I recall at least three of those jams being caused by the river carving a new channel through a wooded section of forest. I haven’t paddled it since expecting those jams to collect even more debris and being even more difficult to portage. Please write if you run this and found they have cleared. I’ll do the same as I am interested in making it a scouting trip to find out, ...hopefully in the relatively near future.
