The natural beauty of Chelan County and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water will make you feel great. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way in this general area you'll find lots of paddling spots. Great
    exercise and just being out on the river for a while are great attractions for lots of people. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. The FR 5605 to Tommy Creek trailhead section of Entiat River is 2.5 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class
III-IV(V+) section. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. The wild scenery of the Northern Cascade Range is great. There are so many sections to paddle in this river system, the FR 5605 to Tommy Creek trailhead section is just one of many. This stretch is short so it's not like you're gonna spend hours on the river in one stretch.
