No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this area has a large number of paddling spots.
    No need to look hard for hotels, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. This is a bit of a short stretch so you'll have to walk back to the start over and over. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Washington is often more difficult than elsewhere,
so you'd better keep in mind that rivers here are less forgiving. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. Getting a good workout and a chance to spend some time outdoors are sure to keep you coming back for more.
