Gale to Mineral Creek section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS IV(V) 6 miles
The beautiful scenery of Washington and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in this state tend to be more challenging than the national average, so don't forget that rivers here are not as easy as elsewhere. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. This section of Mineral Creek - North Fork is 6 miles long and
has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class IV(V) section. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way in this general area you'll find lots of paddling places. The Gale to Mineral Creek section is one of a few paddling
sections in this river system. This section is long enough to enjoy a good non stop paddle, suitable for an afternoon trip. Getting a good workout and just being out on the river for a while are sure to keep you coming back for more. The Northern Cascade Range scenery is wonderful.
