Clallam county, Deer Park to Dungeness Forks Campground section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS IV-V     9.5 miles
  The starting location is a reasonable drive from Shelton, please print out a copy of the road map further down the page so you won’t get lost. This section of Gray Wolf River in Clallam County is 9.5 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class IV-V section. Getting some good exercise and just hanging out with mother nature have a lot of people coming here. The wonderful Washington scenery and the beautiful way
    the water current moves down the stream beats anything. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. The river winds through the Olympic Mountains and you get great scenery. This section is long enough to enjoy
a good non stop paddle, suitable for an afternoon trip. There are a few other sections in this river system that can be paddled as well. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way around here you'll find a large number of good rivers. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Washington are harder than the national norm, so better not forget that lots of rivers here are not for beginners. You might have to settle for  
a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick.
