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.

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
