Deer Creek to Cedar Flats section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS IV-V 5 miles
This stretch of Chinook Creek in Washington is 5 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class IV-V section. The beautiful scenery of Washington and the water flowing gracefully down Chinook Creek have people coming here. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. The Northern Cascade Range scenery is wonderful. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this is an area with plenty of places for that. If you're a camper you
can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. The Deer Creek to Cedar Flats stretch is the only paddling stretch along Chinook Creek. Great exercise and just hanging out with mother nature are great reasons to come. The sections for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Washington
are often more challenging than in other states, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that quite a few of the sections here are not easy. This section is long enough to enjoy a good non stop paddle, suitable for an afternoon trip.
