CLASS II 5.7 miles
If you're coming from Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue it's not a long drive at all to the starting location, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page. The Tolt River Road close to Carnation to Snoqualmie River stretch of Tolt River in King County is 5.7 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class II section. The average Washington whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be harder to run than those in other states, so if you're not from around here don't forget that quite a few of the sections
here are not easy. The natural beauty of Washington and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, and if you make
reservations in advance you're all set. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking there are lots of good spots for that around here. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. This section is long enough to enjoy a good non stop paddle, good for a one day paddling trip. The Tolt River Road close to Carnation to Snoqualmie River section is one of a few paddling sections in this river system. When you're paddling down a Northern Cascade Range river like this one you always get great scenery along the way too. Getting a good workout and just hanging
out with mother nature are great reasons to come.
