Highway 20 to Beebe Creek section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS IV-V(V+) 4.6 miles
The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Washington are often tougher than in other states, so better not forget that quite a few of the sections here are not easy. When you're paddling down a Northern Cascade Range river like this one you always get great scenery along the way too. This river system has a few good paddling sections and the Highway 20 to Beebe Creek section is one of them. The scenic beauty of Skagit/whatcom County and the playfulness of the water will make you feel great. There are campgrounds quite near the river where
you can camp. The Highway 20 to Beebe Creek section of Granite Creek is 4.6 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class IV-V(V+) section. Getting some good exercise and just hanging out with mother nature have people coming from far and near. Whether
you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this is an area with not too many other spots for that. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. On this section you do get some distance, it's good length for a morning trip.
