ESFSEW A series of atmospheric rivers will provide rounds of increasingly impactful rainfall starting on Friday and continuing through early next week. Snow levels will remain around 5000 to 6000 feet. Expect rising rivers with potential for flooding especially for rivers flowing off the Olympics and Cascades. Urban flooding and landslides are also possible throughout this period as the soil conditions remain wet.
The ideal streamflow range for this run is between 800 and 2,000 cubic feet per second (cfs). The segment mileage is approximately 11 miles, with a class rating of III-IV.
During the run, kayakers and rafters will encounter several rapids, including "Corner Pocket" and "Meat Grinder." Other obstacles include log jams, overhanging trees, and boulders. It is recommended that only experienced kayakers and rafters attempt this run due to the technical nature of the rapids and obstacles.
Specific regulations for the area include a permit requirement for overnight camping and a limit of 12 people per group. Additionally, all kayakers and rafters must wear a personal flotation device (PFD) at all times on the river.
It is important to note that water levels and conditions can change rapidly, and it is recommended that those attempting this run check current river conditions and forecasts before embarking. Sources for information on this run include American Whitewater and the U.S. Forest Service.
