King county, Kaleetan Creek to Middle Fork Snoqualmie section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS IV     6 miles
  This stretch of Pratt River in King County is 6 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class IV section. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. This stretch is mid length, good for a one day paddling trip. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way this is an area with plenty of places for that. Getting
    some good exercise and just being out on the river for a while will have you coming back for more. The wonderful Washington scenery and the cool fresh water are reasons enough to come here and paddle. The Kaleetan Creek to Middle Fork Snoqualmie section is the only paddling section
along Pratt River. The wild scenery of the Northern Cascade Range is great. The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state are often tougher than in other states, so keep in mind that a large number of rivers in this state are not easy.

Briefly about the general area:
Summertime highs at Pratt River regularly tend to be in the 70's. Through the dark hours of summer temperatures drop down into the 50's. The winter brings highs down to the 40's; night lows in the 30's for Pratt River. But wait, there's more entertaining stuff to do in
 
the Northern Cascade Range.
Pratt River is a rather wet place commonly with a good deal of rain; throughout the month of December you get the most rain around here, and the driest month is July. The Mount Defiance Trail offers hiking at its best, and why not take a refreshing hike along the Pratt Lake Trail.
