The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. Getting your paddling muscles activated and just hanging out with mother nature have a lot of people coming here. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp.

    the river in one stretch. There are no other stretches to paddle along Money Creek than the Upstream of Money Creek Road Bridge stretch. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way around here you'll find a large number of good places. The scenic beauty
of Washington and the playfulness of the water make the trip here worthwhile.
