Washington whitewater - White River, Northern Cascade Range, Pierce County

Pierce county, West Fork to Bridge Camp section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS III     13.5 miles
  The West Fork to Bridge Camp stretch of White River in Washington is 13.5 miles long and has been rated as a class III section by American Whitewater. The scenic beauty of Pierce County and the playfulness of the water are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state is often more difficult than elsewhere, so if you're not from around here don't forget that quite a few of the sections here are not easy. There are a few other stretches in this
    river system that can be paddled as well. 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. The wild scenery of the Northern Cascade Range is great. You
can enjoy this stretch more if you take your time, so go ahead and pack your camp stove. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this is an area with plenty of places for that. Getting some good exercise and just being out on the river for a while are sure to keep you coming back for more.

Briefly about the general area:
Just can't get enough of the Northern Cascade Range. White River gets a good deal of water; December is the wettest month with most rain; the driest month of the year is July.
Hiking along the Flip-O-Way Trail is delightful
 
fun; going for a hike along the Christoff Trail will let you absorb the natural beauty of this region.
