CLASS I-II     0.1 miles
  This stretch of Duwamish River in King County is 0.1 miles long and it is classified as a class I-II section by American Whitewater. The nature scenery of King County and the cool fresh water are reasons enough to come here and paddle. This is an extremely short stretch so better bring some good walking shoes. The sections for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Washington are often more challenging than in other states, so if you're not from around here don't forget that rivers here are not as easy as elsewhere. Some people prefer whitewater rafting
    and some kayaking, either way this is an area with plenty of places for that. Getting a good workout and a chance to spend some time outdoors are great attractions for lots of people. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. There are many good hotels to choose
from, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. This is the only paddling section along Duwamish River.
