The nature scenery of Washington and the cool fresh water will make you feel great. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state is often more difficult than elsewhere, so if you're not from around here don't forget that the rivers in this state are less manageable. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels
fill up quick. If you have the time you can make this a two day trip, so pack your sleeping bag. The beauty of the Olympic Mountains is a great plus for this river. Getting some good exercise and spending some quality time in nature are sure to keep you coming back for more. This
is not the only paddling stretch in this river system, there are others too. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this area has a large number of paddling rivers.
