Just an Update! It looks like the river has
dropped considerably from the 8,000 cfs it was
pumping out on April 14th to around 1,000 cfs
(http://waterdata.usgs.gov/id/nwis/uv?12414900 
When our group of canoes and kayaks ran it at
around 1,200 cfs, we were able to eddy out on
river right and pass the boats over the log.
There is the other option of a 12-foot seal
launch on river left for rafts and kayaks. Good
boating!
