come because it is a very popular destination. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way this area has a large number of paddling places.
Briefly about the general
area: Why not take a refreshing hike along the Washougal Trail; when you're here it's always fun to stop at Guy W. Talbot State Park. So many fun things to do here in the Northern Cascade Range, too splendid to be true.
Take a hike on the Horseshoe Ridge Trail; Rooster Rock State Park is both magnificent and delightful. This river is so perfect. Sundial Beach is in the vicinity of Copper Creek if you're in a beach type of mood.
