Coweeman River

The run from the locked Weyhauser gate to the main road is 7.5 miles. The river is a wood collector yet boaters live along the river and frequently cut spaces for boats to pass. On 3/30/19 at a low flow of 7.7 feet, there was only one riverwide log that gave us trouble. As to rapid names, we call the rapid, approximately 1.5 miles down, Busy Town. It is a longish pooldrop/boulder garden. just over 2 miles below this is the Cable Drop (corner with gradient loss) ending in a pool. 1/8 mile below this drop is LogJam. Wood shifts so always scout! It is a logjam that you can often run to the Right however sometime there is wood blocking the right channel. The last named rapid is about a mile from the take out and is a riverwide ledge that ends in waves and holes....The run is best at about 9 feet and 7.7 feet is a slow, long paddle.
