Logistics: The usual approach for this run is from Estacada up Highway 224 which becomes FR 46. Head up along the Clackamas River and at Highway 224 mile 45.7 you will cross the river at Sandstone Bridge which is the takeout. Heading up river you will reach one potential put-in at Riverside Campground located at mile 52.6. Alternatively you can continue up to the Collawash confluence and do the full run by going to mile 53.3 and the junction with FR 63. Turn onto FR 63, cross the river and you will find access on the upstream river left side of the bridge.
