CLASS IV-V 2.9 miles
The Upstream of Money Creek Road Bridge section of Money Creek in King County is 2.9 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class IV-V section. The wonderful Washington scenery and the playfulness of the water attract people from near and far. The sections for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Washington are often more challenging than in other states, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that rivers here are less forgiving. When you're paddling down a Northern Cascade Range river like this one you always get great scenery along the
way too. The Upstream of Money Creek Road Bridge stretch is the only paddling stretch along Money Creek. Great exercise and just hanging out with mother nature will make you glad you came. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night,
but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. This stretch is short so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. The campgrounds here at Money Creek are pretty good. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this is an area with plenty of places for that.
