Grays Harbor county, Bridge above Narrows to South Boundary Road Bridge section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS III     2 miles
  If you're coming from Aberdeen it's not a long drive at all to the starting location, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page. The beautiful scenery of Grays Harbor County and the water flowing gracefully down Big Creek beats anything. The Bridge above Narrows to South Boundary Road Bridge section of Big Creek in Washington is 2 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class III section. The beauty of the Olympic Mountains is a great plus for this river. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great
    campgrounds nearby. This is the only paddling section along Big Creek. Getting a good workout and just hanging out with mother nature will have you coming back for more. This section is quite short so better bring some good walking shoes. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Washington
is often more difficult than elsewhere, so keep in mind that a lot of the rivers here are not suitable for beginners. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, in this general area you'll find lots of paddling rivers.
