Washington whitewater - Green River, Northern Cascade Range, King County King county, Headworks to Kanaskat-Palmer State Park section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.   CLASS II+(III)     3.5 miles   The scenic beauty of Washington and the playfulness of the water are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state are often tougher than in other states, so better not forget that lots of rivers here are not for beginners. 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 campgrounds here at Green River are pretty good. This river system is full of great paddling     stretches, the Headworks to Kanaskat-Palmer State Park stretch is just one of them. The Northern Cascade Range scenery is wonderful. The Headworks to Kanaskat-Palmer State Park stretch of Green River in King County is 3.5 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class II+(III) section. The starting location is a reasonable drive from Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, as you can see on the road map further down. This is a bit of a short stretch so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this is an area with plenty of spots for that. Getting some good exercise and just hanging out with mother nature are sure to keep you coming back for more.
