to National Forest Sauk section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS IV-V 1 miles
This stretch of Sloan Creek is 1 miles long and has been rated as a class IV-V section by American Whitewater. The scenic beauty of Snohomish County and the water flowing gracefully down Sloan Creek are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. This is an extremely short stretch so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. Getting some good exercise and just hanging out with mother nature are
great attractions for lots of people. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking around here you'll find a large number of good spots. Sloan Creek doesn't have a lot of paddling sections, the to National Forest Sauk section is the only one. The Northern Cascade Range scenery
is wonderful. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state are often tougher than in other states, so don't forget that rivers here are less forgiving.
