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 beautiful scenery of Washington and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream will make you feel great. The Rimrock Reservoir to Windy Point Campground section of Tieton River is 11.5 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class III+ section of whitewater. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state is often more difficult than elsewhere, so don't forget that many runs in this state are not easy. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but do book a room before
    you come because it is a very popular destination. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. If you hurry you can run this stretch in a day but why not make it an overnighter, so why not pack your sleeping bag too. The beauty of the Northern Cascade Range is a great
plus for this river. There are a few other sections in this river system that can be paddled as well. Getting your paddling muscles activated and just being out on the river for a while are great reasons to come. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking in this general area you'll find lots of paddling places.
