CLASS II-III 6.5 miles
The wonderful Jefferson County scenery and the playfulness of the water beats anything. The put-in location is a short drive from Shelton, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. The sections for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Washington are often more challenging than in other states, so better not forget that a large number of rivers in this state are not easy. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. This is one of a small number of paddling stretches in this river system, there are a few others too. This stretch
is mid length, it's perfect for a one day trip. 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. The beautiful Olympic Mountains scenery is an added bonus.
Great exercise and just being out on the river for a while will make you glad you came. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this is an area with plenty of rivers for that. The Six Mile Bridge to Dosewallips State Park section of Dosewallips River in Washington is 6.5 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class II-III section.
