Putin DetailsThere is a couple of options here, but most people are putting in at the secret camp due to 2 huge log jams. One just below the Ohanepecosh campground and one at CLS. To get to secret camp from La Wis Wis, make a left off of 123 on a small dirt road just before you reach the park gates. Follow this road till it ends near the river then walk the short trail to the water. Either seal launch down the slanted bedrock or get in your boat behind the large rock up stream. |
Takeout Detailsthe take out is just below the confluence with the Clear Fork of the Cowlitz. Park in the day use area of La Wis Wis Campground. |

 2 Large wood Portages on the Upper part of the Run. 1 is below the campground and the second is at Cut Log Slot. - Posted by: James on 7/10/2007 10:41:00 AM -

One wood portage about half way down from Secret Camp. It is a pyramid shaped root ball that''s sort of hard to see with flat moving water above. Also, left slot at Secret Camp has wood blocking, make sure and LOOK. - Posted by: water wacko on 3/24/2010 9:41:00 AM -

At this point you may be asking yourself: "Why did jP type 'Blah Blah Blah nice boofs' over and over?"
The Answer: It seems that sometimes when lots of photos get posted in the gallery related to a particular run, the gallery eclipes the list of rapids along the right hand column, so you can't see the rapids list. So, by typing in some filler text, it bumped down the gallery window and made more of the page visible...
Of course, someone with more runs on the Ohanie than I have under my belt could easily come in here nad type up a real description. That would be great. I thought there was one at some point. Maybe I am mistaken.
Anyway, Blah Blah Blah nice boofs Blah Blah Blah nice boofs Blah Blah Blah nice boofs Blah Blah Blah nice boofs Blah Blah Blah nice boofs Blah Blah Blah nice boofs Blah Blah Blah nice boofs Blah Blah Blah nice boofs Blah Blah Blah nice boofs Blah Blah Blah nice boofs Blah Blah Blah nice boofs Blah Blah Blah nice boofs Blah Blah Blah nice boofs Blah Blah Blah nice boofs Blah Blah Blah nice boofs Blah Blah Blah nice boofs Blah Blah Blah nice boofs!!!
