Washington whitewater - Taylor River, Northern Cascade Range, King County

King county, Marten Creek to Middle Fork Snoqualmie section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS IV     3 miles
  This stretch of Taylor River in King County is 3 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class IV section. This is the only paddling stretch along Taylor River. 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. The scenic beauty of King County and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream make the trip here worthwhile. A bit of exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors are great reasons to come. This
    is a somewhat short section so better bring some good walking shoes. The beautiful Northern Cascade Range scenery is an added bonus. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way there are lots of good spots for that around here. If you've been out of state
whitewater rafting and kayaking you might find the rivers here more demanding, so keep in mind that a large number of rivers in this state are not easy. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby.
