Washington whitewater - Dingford Creek, Northern Cascade Range, King County

King county, Goat Creek to Middle Fork Snoqualmie section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS V+     1.3 miles
  This section of Dingford Creek in King County is 1.3 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class V+ section. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state is often more difficult than elsewhere, so better not forget that many of the rivers here are not very forgiving. There are no other stretches to paddle along Dingford Creek than the Goat Creek to Middle Fork Snoqualmie stretch. This stretch is very short so it's not like you're gonna spend hours on the river in one stretch. There are campgrounds quite near the river where
    you can camp. The Northern Cascade Range scenery is wonderful. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. Getting a good workout and just hanging out
with mother nature are sure to keep you coming back for more. The wonderful King County scenery and the playfulness of the water will make you feel great. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, this is an area with plenty of rivers for that.

Briefly about the general area:
Through the warm days of summer at Dingford Creek highs are mostly in the 70's. Summer nighttime lows fall down to the 50's. High temperatures through the wintertime are normally in the 40's, and winter nights come with lows in the 30's to Dingford Creek.
 
Dingford Creek usually gets a great deal of rain; of all the months in a year December is the one with the most rain, and the driest month is July.
It's always good to explore Dingford Creek Falls, and magnificent hiking is available along the Middle Fork Trail. You absolutely must go for the Northern Cascade Range. Very beautiful scenery and tremendous skiing is what you get at Alpental.
