Chelan county, FR 5605 to Tommy Creek trailhead section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

The natural beauty of Chelan County and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream are reasons enough to come here and paddle. There's camping available near Entiat River. Getting a good workout and just hanging out with mother nature have people coming from far and near. The wild scenery of the Northern Cascade Range is great. The FR 5605 to Tommy Creek trailhead section is one of many
    paddling sections in this river system. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. This is a somewhat short section so it's not like you're gonna spend hours on the river in
one stretch. This section of Entiat River in Chelan County is 2.5 miles long and it is classified as a class III-IV(V+) section by American Whitewater. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this area has a large number of paddling spots.
