Washington whitewater - Hamma Hamma River, Olympic Mountains, Mason County

Mason county, Boulder Creek to Hamma Hamma Campground section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS V+     3.5 miles
  The scenic beauty of Washington and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water have people coming here. The starting location is a short drive from Shelton, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Washington are often tougher than in other states, so keep in mind that many of the sections here are not safe for beginners. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. A good workout and just hanging out with mother nature will have you coming back for more. 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. This is a somewhat short section so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. This stretch of Hamma
Hamma River is 3.5 miles long and has been rated as a class V+ section by American Whitewater. There are a few other stretches in this river system that can be paddled as well. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this is an area with plenty of places for that. The wild scenery of the Olympic Mountains is great.
