King county, Yellow Creek to South Fork Tolt section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS IV-V+     7 miles
  Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Washington are harder than the national norm, so if you're not from around here don't forget that rivers here are less forgiving. The wonderful Washington scenery and the playfulness of the water are reasons enough to come here and paddle. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this is an area with plenty of spots for that. There are some good sections to paddle in this river system, the Yellow Creek to South Fork Tolt section is one of them. On
    this section you do get some distance, you can easily run it on an afternoon. A bit of exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors have a lot of people coming here. The wild scenery of the Northern Cascade Range is great. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, and
if you make reservations in advance you're all set. This stretch of Tolt River - North Fork in King County is 7 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class IV-V+ section.
