This section of Duwamish
    River in King County is 0.1 miles long and has been rated as a class I-II section by American Whitewater. There are plenty of hotels here if you want to spend a night, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. This is a very short section so it's
not like you're gonna spend hours on the river in one stretch. A good workout and a chance to spend some time outdoors are great attractions for lots of people.
