Whatcom county, Jay Creek to Gorge Lake section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS IV(V)     4 miles
  The sections for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Washington are often more challenging than in other states, so keep in mind that rivers here are less forgiving. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. The Jay Creek to Gorge Lake stretch of Stetattle Creek in Washington is 4 miles long and it is classified as a class IV(V) section by American Whitewater. This is the only
    paddling section along Stetattle Creek. The wild scenery of the Northern Cascade Range is great. The nature scenery of Washington and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. You might be into whitewater
rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, around here you'll find a large number of good spots. This stretch is mid length, suitable for an afternoon trip. Getting a good workout and spending some quality time in nature have people coming from far and near.
