The beautiful scenery of Snohomish County and the playfulness of the water will make you feel great. The average Washington whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master than those in other states, so better not forget that rivers here are not as easy as elsewhere. This stretch of Boulder River is 5 miles long and has been rated as a class III section by American Whitewater. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or |
kayaking this area has a large number of paddling spots. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. This stretch has has enough mileage, good for a one day paddling trip. Getting a good workout and a chance to spend some
| time outdoors will make you glad you came. When you're paddling down a Northern Cascade Range river like this one you always get great scenery along the way too. The put-in location is a reasonable drive from Mount Vernon-Anacortes, there's a road map further down the page with more info on 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. There are a few other stretches in this river system that can be paddled as well.
Briefly about the general area: Good hiking is available along the Finney Peak Trail It's always nice to check out
Boulder Falls. Be careful coming to the Northern Cascade Range, you might not ever want to go back home again. There's magnificent hiking along the Gee Point Trail, and you are in the neighborhood of French Point since you're
here. Lots of fun awaits you along this river. Boulder River sees pretty high levels of rainfall. During December this area sees the most rain, and July on the other hand is the driest.
