There's a put-in just below MP 5 that makes for an easy and quick but fun trip. Although it misses the Cougar Creek rapid, it also misses the 1 1/2 miles of flat water above. With 5.9 feet on the WASW1 gauge, it was good, both Saturday and Sunday. The little waves were surprisingly enjoyable, but I have to say, I wish there's been more water.
