When the levels are normal, Its not hard to go thru, If the log is still there, its not as easy, but still not hard, but when the levels up like over 2k or more, it pushes right to the ledge, or you get stuck in the boil, and have to row out of it, yes you can walk around, but you'll need extra rope, and some patients, you have to keep the ass of the boat to the left, theres a couple shallow spots on the left than it drops off, you have to be in control of your sticks at all times if the rivers up. If the rivers up like 3000 or 3500 there should be a small passege on the left, unless the grave bar filled in more. If another snag builds to the right, that gravel bar on the left will change and open up that spot agian.
