CLASS IV     10.3 miles
  This section of Snoqualmie River - Middle Fork in Washington is 10.3 miles long and has been rated as a class IV section by American Whitewater. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way there are lots of good places for that around here. The nature scenery of Washington and the playfulness of the water beats anything. A good workout and spending some quality time in nature will have you coming back for more. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but you'd better reserve in advance because these
    hotels fill up quick. The beauty of the Northern Cascade Range is a great plus for this river. The average Washington whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master than those in other states, so keep in mind that many of the rivers here are not very forgiving.
There are plenty of other stretches in this river system that can be paddled as well. If you have the time you can make this a two day trip, so why not pack your sleeping bag too. The campgrounds here at Snoqualmie River - Middle Fork are pretty good.

Briefly about the general area:
The high level of rain makes Snoqualmie River - Middle Fork a rather wet location; during the month of December you get the most rain around here, and July meanwhile is the driest month. All the outdoors fun stuff in the Northern Cascade Range will keep you coming back
 
repeatedly. Why not take a refreshing hike along the Middle Fork Trail; do take a hike on the Pratt Lake Trail.
