The Breitenbush is one of the classic intermediate runs in the Cascades.

Logistics: The Breitenbush runs along FR 46 through the ravine down below the road. Head to Detroit and at Hwy 22 mile 50.0 turn onto FR 22 which is signed for Breitenbush. Heading up FR 22 to mile 0.9 you will reach the Upper Arm Day Use Area representing the head of Detroit Reservoir and the take-out. An alternate access can be reached by continuing upstream to the FR 22 bridge across the Breitenbush at mile 3.6. To reach the put-in head upstream to FR 22 mile 9.0 and Cleator Bend Campground. You can put-in here or use the bridge across the river on the upstream side of the campground.

Sharon's Drop, below S-turn, is runnable as of November 2007. Jason Rackley's site mentions that it
looks runnable, but isn't due to several logs. There is a log on the right side, easily visible
from upstream. The left side is clear. Edit
