CLASS II-III+(V)     3.5 miles
  If you're coming from Ellensburg it's not a long drive at all to the starting location, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. The beautiful scenery of Chelan County and the cool fresh water have people coming here. The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state are often tougher than in other states, so you'd better keep in mind that the rivers in this state are less manageable. You can pitch a tent
    or park your RV at a nearby campground. This is a short paddling stretch so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. This section of Icicle Creek in Washington is 3.5 miles long and is rated
by American Whitewater as a class II-III+(V) section. A bit of exercise and spending some quality time in nature are great reasons to come. The beauty of the Northern Cascade Range is a great plus for this river. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking in this general area you'll find lots of paddling spots. There are so many sections to paddle in this river system, the Rock Island Campground to Ida Creek section is just one of  
many. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick.

Briefly about the general area:
The Icicle Trail offers hiking at its best; Wenatchee National Forest is a tremendous spot. Yeah, come up here to the Northern Cascade Range for a tremendous time. Why not take a refreshing hike along the County Line Trail, and a spree to Lake Wenatchee State Park rejuvenates the spirit. A river like this is too good to miss. The warmest time of the year at Icicle Creek comes with high temperatures in the 60's.
