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

Okanogan county, Camp Four to Five Mile Bridge section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS III     13 miles
  The scenic beauty of Okanogan County and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream beats anything. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. This stretch has enough mileage for an overnight trip, so why not pack your camp stove too. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. This is one of a small number of paddling stretches in this river system, there are a few others too. The Northern Cascade Range scenery is wonderful.
    The average Washington whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be harder to run than those in other states, so if you're not from around here don't forget that many runs in this state are not easy. Getting a good workout and just hanging out with mother nature will make you
glad you came. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this is an area with plenty of places for that. This section of Chewuch River in Okanogan County is 13 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class III section of whitewater.
