This was a fairly atypical section of the track.  It was flat and gentle and it even had some split logs place there long ago to help you keep dry.  However, keeping dry was pretty hopeless and it really is safest not to even try.  To walk along the wet and slippery logs just makes it more likely that you'll slip and fall and besides, if you made it this far, your feet are already soaking wet and will stay that way until the end of the track.  On my first tramp of the track, this entire section was flooded.
