The FR 2260 Bridge to West Satsop Road section is one of many paddling sections in this river system. 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. Great exercise and just being out on the river for a while are great reasons to come. The beauty of the Olympic Mountains is a great plus for this river. The put-in location is a short drive from Aberdeen, if you're not familiar with the area there's
a road map further down the page. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. The natural beauty of Washington and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water beats anything. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way in this general area you'll find lots of paddling places.
