CLASS II     6 miles
  The natural beauty of Snohomish County and the playfulness of the water attract people from near and far. The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Washington are often tougher than in other states, so if you're not from around here don't forget that many of the sections here are not safe for beginners. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. There are no other sections to paddle along Wallace River than the Bridge Close to Gold Bar to mouth section. Getting your paddling
    muscles activated and just being out on the river for a while will have you coming back for more. The beautiful Northern Cascade Range scenery is an added bonus. The Bridge Close to Gold Bar to mouth section of Wallace River is 6 miles long and is according to American Whitewater
