2/1/2020 Log-jam at lower end of Tollgate CG is now a single, 8' diameter tree across entire creek. It might be possible to boof over it on river left which will then feed you directly into a tight 3+ (4 at this flow) drop. Lower water and it becomes a trap around a blind corner after 100 yards of eddy-free boating. Wood situation is slightly improved through the CG, the rapid shortly below the upper put-in known as '26 Moves' still has wood and no great stopping or portage options. For a number of years, we have been putting in just below this drop. '26 Moves' is the steepest, most continuous piece on the river and becomes more user-friendly below it.
