CLASS V 4 miles
Closer hotels are available at Concrete and Sedro Woolley. Gee Lake is also a cool lake to visit if you are up there. The south end of the road loop has great vistas, blue berries and black bears. Says Kim Ramsey
The Finney Creek Road Bridge to bridge at mouth stretch of Finney Creek is 4 miles long and has been rated as a class V section by American Whitewater. The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state are often tougher than in other states, so keep in mind that many runs in this state are not easy. For all you camping people
there are campgrounds nearby. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. On this section you do get some distance, it's perfect for a one day trip. The Finney Creek Road Bridge
to bridge at mouth stretch is the only paddling stretch along Finney Creek. The wonderful Washington scenery and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water will make you feel great. Whitewater paddling here in the Northern Cascade Range is a great experience. A good workout and just being out on the river for a while will make you glad you came. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this is an area with plenty of rivers for that.
