The starting location is a reasonable drive from Aberdeen, as you can see on the road map further down. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside Washington you might find the rivers here a bit more challenging, so better not forget that a large number of rivers in this state are not easy. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive
    a bit to get to one, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way in this general area you'll find lots of paddling rivers. There are plenty of other sections in this river system
that can be paddled as well. The beauty of the Olympic Mountains is a great plus for this river. Great exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors have people coming from far and near. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. You can enjoy this section more if you take your time, so pack your sleeping bag. The natural beauty of Mason/Grays Harbor County and the playfulness of the water are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle.
