Big Quilcene

Information provided by Ryan Allen:

I ran the Big Q again this summer (2001) and found that it was fairly clean of logs, definitly less wood than when I was in there a couple of winters ago. We only portaged one drop which was one of the last rapids in the gorge it had about a 10-15 foot steep slide on river left. The runout of the drop has a log about two feet over the water that you maybe able to roll under but it looks boney. The portage is easy over some rocks and wood in the middle of the river and you can put in and run a slot that puts you right below the wood.
