Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Washington are harder than the national norm, so if you're not from around here don't forget that many of the sections here are not safe for beginners. The natural beauty of Washington and the playfulness of the water attract people from near and far. Great exercise and     just being out on the river for a while are sure to keep you coming back for more. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, there are lots of good rivers for that around here. This section is quite short so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. There are a few other stretches in this river system that can be paddled as well. The river winds through the Olympic Mountains and you get great scenery. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. 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.
