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. There's camping
    available near Klickitat River. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way in this general area you'll find lots of paddling rivers. The beautiful scenery of Washington and the playfulness of the water make the trip here worthwhile. The starting point is
