The wonderful Mason County scenery and the playfulness of the water are reasons enough to come here and paddle. Getting a good workout and a chance to
    spend some time outdoors are sure to keep you coming back for more. This is a very short section so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. The Baker Creek to road off Kelly Hall Road stretch is one of many paddling stretches in this river system.
Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. The put-in location is a reasonable drive from Aberdeen, please print out a copy of the road map further down the page so you won’t get lost. The Olympic Mountains scenery is wonderful.
