Washington whitewater - Tilton River - North Fork, Northern Cascade Range, unknown County

above Tilton confluence section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS IV     2.5 miles
  The above Tilton confluence stretch of Tilton River - North Fork in unknown County is 2.5 miles long and is a class IV section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. The average whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master in this state than those in other states, so better not forget that a large number of rivers in this state are not easy. The beautiful scenery of unknown County and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water attract people from near and far. Getting a good workout and just being out on the river
    for a while will make you glad you came. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or
kayaking, either way around here you'll find a large number of good places. This is one of a small number of paddling sections in this river system, there are a few others too. The beautiful Northern Cascade Range scenery is an added bonus. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. This stretch is short so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. The starting location is a short drive from Centralia, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that.
