CLASS II+     7 miles

The nature scenery of Kittitas County and the water flowing gracefully down Teanaway River beats anything. The beauty of the Northern Cascade Range is a great plus for this river.

    up quick. There are some good sections to paddle in this river system, the North Fork Teanaway to East Masterson Road section is one of them. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Washington tend to be more challenging than the national average, so don't forget that lots of
rivers here are not for beginners. This section is long enough to enjoy a good non stop paddle, you can easily run it on an afternoon. A good workout and spending some quality time in nature will make you glad you came. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this is an area with plenty of rivers for that. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby.
