Cowlitz

Packrafted from the Salmon Hatchery down to I-5 (21/22 miles) in about 4 hours with a friend new to the pastime. I'd read somewhere to estimate about 1mph per 1000cfs, and that proved pretty accurate. No notable obstacles aside from a fair number of motorized boats in the broader sections of the river and plenty of fisherfolk along the banks. At that level, there were several small wave trains along the first half of the route, and two or three in the lower half.
