You might have
to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. A bit of exercise and just being out on the river for a while will make you glad you came. When you're paddling down a Northern
Cascade Range river like this one you always get great scenery along the way too. The average whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master in this state than those in other states, so keep in mind that lots of rivers here are not for beginners. This is a pretty short section so you'll have to walk back to the start over and over.
