Hoko Falls Run section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS II-III(IV) 8.3 miles
The natural beauty of Washington and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water are reasons enough to come here and paddle. The Hoko Falls Run stretch of Hoko River is 8.3 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class II-III(IV) section. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way in this general area you'll find lots of paddling spots. The beautiful Olympic Mountains scenery is an added bonus. The campgrounds here at Hoko River are pretty good. The nearby hotels are a bit away
from the river, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. This section is long enough to enjoy a good non stop paddle, suitable for an afternoon trip. Great exercise and just hanging out with mother nature are sure to keep you coming back for more. The Hoko Falls
Run stretch is the only paddling stretch along Hoko River. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside this state you might find the rivers here a bit more challenging, so don't forget that many of the rivers here are not very forgiving.
