There are a few other sections in this river system that can be paddled as well. Whitewater paddling here in the
Northern Cascade Range is a great experience. The average Washington whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master than those in other states, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that many runs in this state are not easy. Whether you're whitewater
rafting or kayaking this area has a large number of paddling places. Getting a good workout and just hanging out with mother nature have people coming from far and near.
