  If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside Washington you might find the rivers here a bit more challenging, so keep in mind that rivers here are not as easy as elsewhere. The nature scenery of Washington and the cool fresh water are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. The beauty of the Olympic Mountains is a great plus for this river.

    not too far from Port Angeles, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page. This section is quite short so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. This is not the only paddling section in this river system, there
are others too. Getting some good exercise and just being out on the river for a while will make you glad you came. There's camping available near Soleduck River. There are some good hotels near the river, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this area has a large number of paddling spots.
