Washington whitewater - Tieton River, Northern Cascade Range, Yakima County

Yakima county, Rimrock Reservoir to Windy Point Campground section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS III+     11.5 miles
  The average Washington whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master than those in other states, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that the rivers in this state are less manageable. The Rimrock Reservoir to Windy Point Campground section of Tieton River in Yakima County is 11.5 miles long and it is classified as a class III+ section by American Whitewater. If you hurry you can run this stretch in a day but why not make it an overnighter, so pack your camp stove. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing
    to drive a short distance then no problem but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. The river winds through the Northern Cascade Range and you get great scenery. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, around
here you'll find a large number of good rivers. Getting a good workout and a chance to spend some time outdoors are sure to keep you coming back for more. There are a few other stretches in this river system that can be paddled as well. The beautiful scenery of Washington and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water have people coming here. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground.
