    better keep in mind that many of the rivers here are not very forgiving. A good workout and just hanging out with mother nature are sure to keep you coming back for more. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, and if you make
reservations in advance you're all set. The wonderful Mason County scenery and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water are reasons enough to come here and paddle. This is an extremely short stretch so better bring some good walking shoes. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, this is an area with plenty of rivers for that. When you're paddling down a Olympic Mountains river like this one you always get great scenery along the way too.
