A friend and I kayaked this run on 09Aug2018 when the flow was at around 350cfs. Just wanted to give a heads up to anyone thinking about doing this route, that there are trees across the river for the first mile or so. This is upstream of the old hydro location. We had to go over/under/around trees ever 50-100 yards. We should have taken a saw and machette. We realize that 350cfs is below the runnable limit, but around here it rarely gets in that runnable window, so you deal with whatever happens. We will not be doing this route again any time soon due to the trees. The next leg downstream is always a good one for us, even when the water is low.
