Surprise Creek to Alpine Falls section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS V 3.25 miles
This stretch of Tye River is 3.25 miles long and is a class V section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. The natural beauty of Washington and the playfulness of the water are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. No matter if 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 will make you glad you came. This section is quite short so it's not like you're gonna spend hours on the river in one stretch. The rivers for whitewater
rafting and kayaking in this state are often tougher than in other states, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that the rivers in this state are less manageable. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. The Surprise Creek to Alpine Falls section is one of a few paddling
sections in this river system. The beautiful Northern Cascade Range scenery is an added bonus. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car.
