Glacier Creek to Highway 12 section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS V 7.7 miles
The Glacier Creek to Highway 12 section of Johnson Creek is 7.7 miles long and has been rated as a class V section by American Whitewater. The Northern Cascade Range scenery is wonderful. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state is often more difficult than elsewhere, so keep in mind that lots of rivers here are not for beginners. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. Great exercise and just hanging out with mother nature are great attractions for lots of people. The nature scenery of Washington and the water flowing gracefully
down Johnson Creek are reasons enough to come here and paddle. This section is long enough to enjoy a good non stop paddle, suitable for an afternoon trip. This is the only paddling stretch along Johnson Creek. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking in this general area
you'll find lots of paddling places. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick.
Briefly about the general area: Johnson Creek is a wet place that gets lots of rain; January is when you get the most snow here; July meanwhile is the driest month.

for a hike along the South Point Trail. If you want to explore some out of the ordinary stuff, explore South Point, and on a delightful day you can take a hike along the Glacier Lake Trail. Throughout the months of summer at Johnson Creek highs are frequently in the 70's; through
