The sections for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Washington are often more challenging than in other states, so don't forget that a large number of rivers in this state are not easy. The beautiful scenery of Washington and the cool fresh water attract people from near and far. The Falls Creek to Skagit River confluence stretch of Bacon Creek is 6 miles long and
has been rated as a class II+(IV) section by American Whitewater. The campgrounds here at Bacon Creek are pretty good. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, this area has a large number of paddling spots. This is a pretty decent length section,
suitable for an afternoon trip. A bit of exercise and just hanging out with mother nature have a lot of people coming here. The Falls Creek to Skagit River confluence stretch is the only paddling stretch along Bacon Creek. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. The wild scenery of the Northern Cascade Range is great.
Briefly about the general area: Summertime at Bacon Creek comes with high temperatures in the 70's with nighttime lows in the
50's. All through the winter this place gets highs in the 40's; nighttime lows in the 30's for Bacon Creek. All the water falling down from the sky makes Bacon Creek a wet place; through November this area sees the most rain, and July on the other hand is the driest.
