About This Access Site
Cable Drop Access is a Forest Service whitewater access point located on the Skykomish River in Snohomish County, Washington. This site serves as a put-in or take-out location for paddlers running whitewater sections of the Skykomish River. The access point is situated at coordinates 47.80891, -121.57166700, providing entry to one of the region's popular whitewater paddling destinations.

Boaters should check current water levels and weather conditions before planning trips, as whitewater access sites can be affected by seasonal flows and precipitation in the Cascade Mountain watershed.
