If you're coming from Mount Vernon-Anacortes it's not a long drive at all to the put-in location, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. The sections for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Washington are often more challenging than in other states, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that rivers here are less forgiving. This stretch of Pilchuck Creek in Snohomish County is 5.5 miles long and has been |
determined by American Whitewater to be a class III-IV(V) section. 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. The natural beauty of Snohomish County and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream will make you feel great. Getting some good exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors will have you coming back for more. The campgrounds here at Pilchuck Creek are pretty good. This section is long enough to enjoy a good non stop paddle, it's perfect for a one day trip. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some | |

kayaking, either way this area has a large number of paddling places. The beauty of the Northern Cascade Range is a great plus for this river. This river system is full of great paddling sections, the Pilchuck Creek Campsite
to Highway 9 Bridge section is just one of them.
Briefly about the general area: Lake Chelan National Recreation Area is a very great location to have a look at in close proximity to Pilchuck Creek, and a journey
here wouldn’t be complete without a spree to nearby Wenberg State Park. Man, is there heaps of fun things to do in the Northern Cascade Range.
