There is one portage above the takeout bridge which is likely still there. There was also wood on river right just below the takeout bridge which may have flushed. Data as of 5/4.

Just came over from North Fork Sky after a couple days and spent night at Beckler-Rapid confluence. Rapid is cranking. Has that tea brown color from all the tannins. Log right above confluence still there but there is open line right thru some bushes or totally open slot on left bank as long as your in control. We have 14 ft cat and raft with oars so we will probably be riding the Beckler today. Haven't ventured up the Rapid to look but might go up to take a look see in a bit. Looks like good fun for some kayakers if your into that sort of thing!

A good guage for this run: http://www.nwrfc.noaa.gov/river/station/flowplot/flowplot.cgi?id=SSSW1
Look for 7.0 or better for Rapid. Was 'in' 5/16 evening good med flow... didn't run it, just drove by on way to NF.

Yeah, the Rapid almost ALWAYS has a liberal amount of wood in it littered throughout. Big piece just before Beckler Confluence, as mentioned. Definitely saw other pieces upstream (I was with Mike when we went to the Nfk, but also up there near Rapid put in poking around about a week ago.)
