As of Nov 8, 2020, the lower Tilton is clear of wood except for one log that presents a hazard around 1200 cfs and lower. This is not a new log, and has been there at least since spring 2020. After Leap of Faith, there are 2 tall waterfalls on the left. After these tall waterfalls, the next rapid has a house rock on the right. A log is just above this house rock, protruding about 4 ft from the right side of the river. It is difficult to see because it is submerged. Despite being submerged, don't assume you can make it over the log at 1200 cfs. My friend was caught in the torso by the log, his boat going under it. Fortunately, he managed to swim out. You can easily avoid it by running left or center on this drop.
