West Fork to Bridge Camp section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS III 13.5 miles
This section of White River in Washington is 13.5 miles long and is a class III section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. The scenic beauty of Pierce County and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water make the trip here worthwhile. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. This river system has a few good paddling stretches and the West Fork to Bridge Camp section is one of them. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way there are lots of good places for that around here. Whitewater rafting
and kayaking in this state is often more difficult than elsewhere, so you'd better keep in mind that a large number of rivers in this state are not easy. Getting a good workout and just being out on the river for a while will have you coming back for more. This stretch is long
enough for an overnight trip if you take your time, so why not pack your camping stuff too. The wild scenery of the Northern Cascade Range is great. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set.
