West Fork to Bridge Camp section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS III 13.5 miles
If you've been out of state whitewater rafting and kayaking you might find the rivers here more demanding, so keep in mind that rivers here are less forgiving. Getting some good exercise and just being out on the river for a while will make you glad you came. This section of White River in Pierce County is 13.5 miles long and has been rated as a class III section by American Whitewater. There are a few other sections in this river system that can be paddled as well. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night,
and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. The natural beauty of Washington and the water flowing gracefully down White River beats anything. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, this area has a large number of paddling spots.
The river winds through the Northern Cascade Range and you get great scenery. If you hurry you can run this stretch in a day but why not make it an overnighter, so pack your sleeping bag. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp.
