CLASS II+     14.5 miles

The nature scenery of Chelan County and the cool fresh water beats anything. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in this state tend to be more challenging than the national average, so if you're not from around here don't forget that a lot of the rivers here are not suitable for beginners. Since you're
    on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way there are lots of good spots for that around here. 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. This stretch is long enough for an overnight trip if you take your time, so pack your camp stove. A bit of exercise and spending some quality time in nature are great reasons to come. This is not the only paddling section in this river system, there are others too. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby.
