CLASS III+ 11.5 miles
This section of Tieton River is 11.5 miles long and it is classified as a class III+ section by American Whitewater. The wonderful Yakima County scenery and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water are reasons enough to come here and paddle. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this is an area with plenty of spots for that. The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state are often tougher than in other states, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that a lot of the rivers here are not suitable for beginners.
Getting a good workout and just hanging out with mother nature are great reasons to come. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. The river winds
through the Northern Cascade Range and you get great scenery. There's camping available near Tieton River. There are a few other sections in this river system that can be paddled as well. You can enjoy this section more if you take your time, so pack your camping stuff.
