Figured I should add a report for packrafting. We put-in at the end of Freight Train (around a half-mile above the twin bridges), and took out in the right eddy after Ramsdell Bridge. Ran twice. Good level for packrafting - decent control of the boats around the dam to get in middle channel under bridge and avoid rocks on river right. Some nice curling waves. Were a bit leary of metal, but didn't find any. Had to be careful of broken bottles at takeout steps - there is a really nice takeout at the river right eddy - nice steps - below Ramsdell Bridge.
