Washington whitewater - Lewis River - East Fork, Northern Cascade Range, Clark County

Clark county, Moulton Falls to Lewisville Park section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS III+(V)     11.5 miles
  This stretch of Lewis River - East Fork in Washington is 11.5 miles long and is a class III+(V) section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. The starting point is not too far from Portland-Vancouver-Beaverton, as you can see on the road map further down. The wonderful Washington scenery and the cool fresh water have people coming here. If you hurry you can run this stretch in a day but why not make it an overnighter, so why not pack your camping stuff too. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside Washington you might find the
    rivers here a bit more challenging, so keep in mind that the rivers in this state are less manageable. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. Great exercise and just being out on the river for a while will make you glad you came. Some people prefer whitewater
rafting and some kayaking, either way there are lots of good places for that around here. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. This river system is full of great paddling stretches, the Moulton Falls to Lewisville Park stretch is just one of them. Whitewater paddling here in the Northern Cascade Range is a great experience.
