The Huckleberry Campground to Wenatchee River stretch of Chiwawa River in Washington is 11 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class III section. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. The Huckleberry Campground to Wenatchee River stretch
is the only paddling stretch along Chiwawa River. This stretch is long enough for an overnight trip if you take your time, so why not pack your camping stuff too. 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 of the rivers here are not very forgiving.
