    to come. This is an extremely short section 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. 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. If you've been out of state whitewater rafting and kayaking you might find the rivers here more demanding, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that rivers here are not as easy as elsewhere.

of good spots. The starting location is a short drive from Mount Vernon-Anacortes, as you can see on the road map further down.
