Washington whitewater - Nason Creek, Northern Cascade Range, unknown County
Merritt to Coles Corner section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS II-III 4 miles
The average whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master in this state than those in other states, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that a lot of the rivers here are not suitable for beginners. This section is long enough to enjoy a good non stop paddle, good for a one day paddling trip. The beautiful scenery of Washington and the playfulness of the water make the trip here worthwhile. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. Great exercise and just being out on the river for a while will make you glad you came.
There are some good sections to paddle in this river system, the Merritt to Coles Corner section is one of them. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in
your car. This stretch of Nason Creek in Washington is 4 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class II-III section. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking there are lots of good rivers for that around here. Whitewater paddling here in the Northern Cascade Range is a great experience.
