Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Washington is often more difficult than elsewhere, so better not forget that a large number of rivers in this state are not easy. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. Getting some good exercise and just hanging out
    with mother nature have a lot of people coming here. This section is long enough for an overnight trip if you take your time, so why not pack your sleeping bag too. There are no other stretches to paddle along Chiwawa River than the Schaefer Creek to Huckleberry Campground stretch.
The natural beauty of Washington and the cool fresh water have people coming here.
