Grays Harbor county, FR 2260 Bridge to West Satsop Road section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS II     33 miles
  This section of Satsop River - West Fork in Washington is 33 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class II section of whitewater. If you've been out of state whitewater rafting and kayaking you might find the rivers here more demanding, so better not forget that rivers here are not as easy as elsewhere. The scenic beauty of Grays Harbor County and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water beats anything. The starting location is a reasonable drive from Aberdeen, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. You can
    pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. A stretch of this length does require some preparations, perfect
for a real wilderness adventure. The beautiful Olympic Mountains scenery is an added bonus. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way around here you'll find a large number of good places. This river system is full of great paddling stretches, the FR 2260 Bridge to West Satsop Road stretch is just one of them. Getting some good exercise and just hanging out with mother nature are great attractions for lots of people.
