Breitenbush

*EDIT: The log jam at Scorpio Creek is gone*

I recently scouted most of the run looking for new wood.

I saw a log jam forming where Scorpion Creek joins the Breitenbush (approx river mile 1.75). As of 12/1/2025 it was comprised of four logs, one of which had a large root wad hanging down almost touching the water. This has potential to get much worse if a few logs are added to the pile. At 330 cfs it looked duck-able by kayaks but probably not rafts. At higher water levels it may require portage. It is scoutable from Scorpion Creek Campground by hiking down the trail on the south bank of Scorpion Creek.

There is a rotary screw fish trap in the center of the river just below the bridge. It is passable on both river right and left for all craft. It is scoutable from the road.

There is also a log jam on river left around mile 7 just after the island. It is passable on the right. It is scoutable from the road.
