Washington whitewater - Pratt River, Northern Cascade Range, King County

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

 

CLASS IV     6 miles
  The scenic beauty of King County and the cool fresh water are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Washington tend to be more challenging than the national average, so don't forget that the rivers in this state are less manageable. The beautiful Northern Cascade Range scenery is an added bonus. This stretch is mid length, it's good length for a morning trip. Pratt River doesn't have a lot of paddling stretches, the Kaleetan Creek to Middle Fork Snoqualmie stretch is the only one. A good workout
    and just being out on the river for a while are sure to keep you coming back for more. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. 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. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking around here you'll find a large number of good places. This stretch of Pratt River in Washington is 6 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class IV section of whitewater.

Briefly about the general area:
So much amusing stuff to do here in the Northern Cascade Range, too fine to be true. The warmest time of the year at Pratt River arrives with high temperatures in the 70's. Summer night lows descend down to the 50's. High temperatures through the wintertime are
 
normally in the 40's; night lows through the wintertime for Pratt River tend to be in the 30's.
Go for a hike on the Mount Defiance Trail; don't leave Pratt River without first going for a hike along the Pratt Lake Trail. All the water falling down from the sky makes Pratt River a wet place; the wettest month of the year is typically December, that's the one that rains the most, and July on the other hand is the driest.
