Washington whitewater - Chewuch River, Northern Cascade Range, Okanogan County

Okanogan county, Andrews Camp to Camp Four section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS IV-V     5 miles
  This section of Chewuch River in Washington is 5 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class IV-V section. Great exercise and just being out on the river for a while are great reasons to come. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way around here you won't find a large number of other rivers. The beautiful scenery of Okanogan County and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water make the trip here worthwhile. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. This
    stretch is mid length, good for a one day paddling trip. There are a few other stretches in this river system that can be paddled as well. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Washington is often tougher than elsewhere, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that the rivers in
this state are less manageable. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. The wild scenery of the Northern Cascade Range is great.
