The nature scenery of Washington and the playfulness of the water beats anything. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. This is not the only paddling section in this river system, there are others too. You might     be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, this area has a large number of paddling spots. The average whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master in this state than those in other states, so better not forget that quite a few of the sections here are not easy. This is a pretty short section so no need to bring snacks. The beautiful Northern Cascade Range scenery is an added bonus. A bit of exercise and spending some quality time in nature have a lot of people coming here.
