Gauge Reading1060 cfs at TILTON RIVER AB BEAR CANYON CREEK NEAR CINEBAR, WA
FlowMedium Flow

We ran it on 5/8/24 at 1060 cfs. There is log that spans the river after First Drop, just past the big rocky island. We heard it arrived 1 month ago. We easily portaged it on the left side. There used to be a gravel bar portage on the right, but that recently washed away. There is a newly formed small channel on the right side that we saw a group come through, but it is hard to see if it is there from above, and I don't know if it would be there at all levels.  There is also a new river wide log between the two main waterfalls.  We were able to scootch over it on the right side at our flow, but it could be a problem at other flows, because it would be hard to portage there.
