Chelan
county,
Agnes Creek to Lake Chelan section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS II(IV) 10 miles
The average whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master in this state than those in other states, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that a large number of rivers in this state are not easy. This section of Stehekin River in Chelan County is 10 miles long and has been rated as a class II(IV) section by American Whitewater. The beautiful Northern Cascade Range scenery is an added bonus. A good workout and just being out on the river for a while are sure to keep you coming back for more. There are no other stretches
to paddle along Stehekin River than the Agnes Creek to Lake Chelan stretch. The natural beauty of Washington and the cool fresh water have people coming here. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way in this
general area you'll find lots of paddling spots. 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. If you have the time you can make this a two day trip, so why not pack your camping stuff too.
