  This section of Snoqualmie River - Middle Fork in Washington is 4 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class V section of whitewater. The natural beauty of Washington and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream will make you feel great. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way in this general area you'll find lots of paddling rivers. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but if you don’t have reservations you might
    end up sleeping in your car. This section is long enough to enjoy a good non stop paddle, suitable for an afternoon trip. The beautiful Northern Cascade Range scenery is an added bonus. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Washington are harder than the national norm, so if
you're visiting here do keep in mind that a lot of the rivers here are not suitable for beginners. Getting your paddling muscles activated and just being out on the river for a while are sure to keep you coming back for more. There are so many stretches to paddle in this river system, the Hardscrabble Creek to Burnboot Creek stretch is just one of many. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby.
