Grays Harbor county, Sherman Creek to Cedar Creek Road section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS II+     4.7 miles
  If you're coming from Shelton it's not a long drive at all to the starting location, as you can see on the road map further down. The scenic beauty of Grays Harbor County and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water are reasons enough to come here and paddle. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Washington is often more difficult than elsewhere, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that the rivers in this state are less manageable. The Sherman Creek to Cedar Creek Road stretch of Cedar Creek in Washington is 4.7 miles long and is a class II+ section
    of whitewater according to American Whitewater. There are no other sections to paddle along Cedar Creek than the Sherman Creek to Cedar Creek Road section. This section is long enough to enjoy a good non stop paddle, you can easily run it on an afternoon. The beautiful Olympic
Mountains scenery is an added bonus. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking around here you'll find a large number of good spots. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. Getting your paddling muscles activated and just being out on the river for a while have people coming from far and near. The campgrounds here at Cedar Creek are pretty good.

Briefly about the general area:
Summer brings highs in the 70's to Cedar
 
Creek, and the nighttime is rather cooler of course, commonly in the 50's. During the winter this place gets highs in the 40's, and winter nights come with lows in the 30's to Cedar Creek. All the water falling down from the sky makes Cedar Creek a wet place; throughout December this area sees the most rain, and July meanwhile is the driest month.
