Thankfully, my wife and I hiked the trail down to Coffee Pot rapids prior to getting our boats in the water--the rapid is full of debris from the old footbridge or someone's dock and another section has two trees down across the river.

One of the sections with the dock/bridge had a board facing upstream in the main channel (see yellow arrow in image). Though a kayaker could move around it, the board would likely puncture an inflatable.

The run looked fun, I hope some locals have an afternoon to clear out the debris!
