Sheep Creek Road mile 7.5 to Sheep Creek Camp Ground section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS II(III) 3 miles
If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside this state you might find the rivers here a bit more challenging, so you'd better keep in mind that rivers here are less forgiving. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. The Sheep Creek Road mile 7.5 to Sheep Creek Camp Ground stretch is the only paddling stretch along Big Sheep Creek. This is a short paddling stretch so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. The nature scenery of Washington and the beautiful
way the water current moves down the stream are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. This section of Big Sheep Creek is 3 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class II(III) section. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. A bit of
exercise and spending some quality time in nature are sure to keep you coming back for more.
