I might stay away from the N Fork Stilly this time of year even if it has seen a recent rise in water. There are some sweepers and tight corners in the 127th to Haller Park section. I saw a canoe folded around a root wad on this drift when I did it three weeks ago. If you drift this section take the right channel under the railroad trestle. There are several big pilings sticking completely out of the water about two feet apart in the left channel under the trestle. I don't think a boat or inflatable will make it.
On a beginning drift I'd hit the sky from Sultan to Ben Howard. The river is open with few blind corners or tree farms in which to get in trouble.
