county,
Camp Four to Five Mile Bridge section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS III 13 miles
The natural beauty of Okanogan County and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. The Camp Four to Five Mile Bridge section of Chewuch River is 13 miles long and has been rated as a class III section by American Whitewater. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside this state you might find the rivers here a bit more
challenging, so don't forget that the rivers in this state are less manageable. Getting some good exercise and just being out on the river for a while are sure to keep you coming back for more. There are some good stretches to paddle in this river system, the Camp Four to Five
Mile Bridge stretch is one of them. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, this is an area with plenty of places for that. When you're paddling down a Northern Cascade Range river like this one you always get great scenery along the way too. If you hurry you can run this section in a day but why not make it an overnighter, so pack your sleeping bag.
