  Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Washington are harder than the national norm, so keep in mind that quite a few of the sections here are not easy.

The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. This is a pretty decent length section, it's perfect for a one day trip. There are
    so many stretches to paddle in this river system, the FR 2203 access to Donkey Creek Road stretch is just one of many. The starting location is a reasonable drive from Aberdeen, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page. The river winds through
the Olympic Mountains and you get great scenery. A bit of exercise and just being out on the river for a while are sure to keep you coming back for more. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, there are lots of good spots for that around here. The natural beauty of Washington and the playfulness of the water are reasons enough to come here and paddle. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp.
