Spada Reservoir to Powerhouse section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS III-IV+ 11 miles
The sections for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Washington are often more challenging than in other states, so better not forget that a lot of the rivers here are not suitable for beginners. The Spada Reservoir to Powerhouse section of Sultan River in Snohomish County is 11 miles long and is a class III-IV+ section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. The Northern Cascade Range scenery is wonderful. This stretch
has enough mileage for an overnight trip, so go ahead and pack your sleeping bag. The nature scenery of Washington and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. Getting some good exercise and just hanging out with mother
nature have a lot of people coming here. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way in this general area you'll find lots of paddling places. The Spada Reservoir to Powerhouse section is one of a few paddling sections in this river system.
