The wonderful Jefferson County scenery and the cool fresh water are reasons enough to come here and paddle.

There aren’t any hotels right nearby
    but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. If you're coming from Port Angeles it's not a long drive at all to the starting location, please print out a copy of the road map further
down the page so you won’t get lost. The Olympic Mountains scenery is wonderful. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking in this general area you'll find lots of paddling places. Getting your paddling muscles activated and just hanging out with mother nature have a lot of people coming here. This stretch is short so better bring some good walking shoes.
