The Bridge Close to Gold Bar to mouth section of Wallace River is 6 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class II section of whitewater. The nature scenery of Washington and the playfulness of the water will make you feel great. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this is an area with plenty of spots for that. 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. A good workout and just hanging out with mother nature have a lot of people coming here. This is the only paddling stretch along
Wallace River. On this section you do get some distance, suitable for an afternoon trip. There's camping available near Wallace River. The Northern Cascade Range scenery is wonderful.
