Washington whitewater - Tilton River, Northern Cascade Range, Lewis County

Lewis county, Bremer to Ike Kinswa State Park section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS III-IV     11 miles
  The beautiful scenery of Lewis County and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. The Bremer to Ike Kinswa State Park stretch of Tilton River in Washington is 11 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class III-IV section. The sections for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Washington are often more challenging than in other states, so if you're not from around here don't forget that a large number of rivers in this state are not easy. Whether you're whitewater
    rafting or kayaking in this general area you'll find lots of paddling spots. The Northern Cascade Range scenery is wonderful. Getting a good workout and just hanging out with mother nature have a lot of people coming here. There are a few other stretches in this river system that
can be paddled as well. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. If you have the time you can make this a two day trip, so pack your sleeping bag. The starting point is not too far from Centralia, as you can see on the road map further down. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp.
