I've not rowed that part of the Humptulips in 30 years but when I looked down river from Stevens Creek there is a large gravel bar on the left....so yes you could rope a boat past that part.....

just don't wait too long to get on the gravel bar......from where I was standing it looked like "innocent water" but apparently not.

Lots of boats have gone over that water this fishing season....I've not heard of another boat having problems
