Is it open? Says Debbie

Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in this state tend to be more challenging than the national average, so you'd better keep in mind that quite a few of the sections here are not easy. The starting location is a reasonable drive from Centralia, please print out a copy of the road map further down the page so you won’t get lost. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking there are lots of good rivers for that around here. The Morton to Bremer stretch of Tilton River in Lewis County is 8.5 miles long and is according
    to American Whitewater a class II-III section of whitewater. There's camping available near Tilton River. On this section you do get some distance, good for a one day paddling trip. 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. This is one of a small number of paddling sections in this river system, there are a few others too. The scenic beauty of Lewis County and the playfulness of the water make the trip here worthwhile. Getting your paddling muscles activated and a chance to spend some time outdoors will have you coming back for more. The beautiful Northern Cascade Range scenery is an added bonus.
