CLASS IV     2 miles
  This stretch of Clear Creek in Washington is 2 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class IV section of whitewater. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside this state you might find the rivers here a bit more challenging, so keep in mind that lots of rivers here are not for beginners. Whitewater paddling here in the Northern Cascade Range is a great experience. This is a bit of a short stretch so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. A bit of exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors
    are great attractions for lots of people. The beautiful scenery of Snohomish County and the playfulness of the water will make you feel great. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. There's camping available near
Clear Creek. The Eightmile Creek to Asbestos Creek Falls section is the only paddling section along Clear Creek. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way in this general area you'll find lots of paddling rivers.
