Washington whitewater, Coweeman River Cowlitz county, Brown Creek to Jim Watson Creek section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.   CLASS II-III(IV)     11.3 miles   Love this smaller river! After a rainstorm is the best time to boat this smaller river. My relatives own riverfront property at several put-in/take-out locations along the Coweeman. So, access is no problem. Give me a call if you'd like to raft/kayak it this winter. -Matt 360-261-2611 Says Matt If you choose to run the canyon be advised about half way through in low water conditions there is a slot falls there narrow and fast once you     get to the other side its all private property till you get to the Kelso dike . the only good take out for large boats is at the mouth of the river and on the other side of the cowlitz about 100 yards up stream. the cowlitz runs fast most of the time . there is also a large tree across the river about a mile below the gravel pit. It would be a sweeper in high water. I also find the milage on this chart to be wacko some close some not even in the target. its a nice float but that canyon is dangerous . Says Ron The average Washington whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be harder to run than those in other states, so if you're visiting here do   keep in mind that many of the rivers here are not very forgiving. The starting location is a short drive from Longview-Kelso, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. This stretch has enough mileage for an overnight trip, so pack your sleeping bag. Great exercise and spending some quality time in nature have people coming from far and near. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way around here you'll find a large number of good places. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car.
