Washington whitewater - Green River, Northern Cascade Range, King County

King county, Green River Gorge section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS III-IV     5 miles
  The Green River Gorge section of Green River in Washington is 5 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class III-IV section. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state is often more difficult than elsewhere, so don't forget that many of the sections here are not safe for beginners. The put-in is not too far from Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. This stretch is mid length, suitable for an afternoon
    trip. There are nice comfortable hotels here, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. There are so many sections to paddle in this river system, the Green River Gorge section is just one of many. A bit of exercise and spending some quality time
in nature are great reasons to come. The river winds through the Northern Cascade Range and you get great scenery. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way around here you'll find a large number of good spots. The nature scenery of Washington and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream beats anything.
