Description

Cable Drop Access serves as the primary public access point on river left. Following a request initiated by American Whitewater to develop a formal access at Cable Drop, the Forest Service successfully secured resources that American Whitewater was able to leverage through contributions that had been made to the Skykomish River Access Fund. In 2012, American Whitewater entered a formal partnership with the Forest Service to define a parking area and design a new trail and a set of stairs down to the river that accommodates rafts. Washington Recreational River Runners, stepped forward with volunteer labor to work on the project.
