Pictures from Summit Creek, Washington: I don't know much about whitewater (I camp and fish) but I do know this stream. There is an 82' falls (Thunder Falls) on the stretch mentioned and it is no where near Hood River. Closest town is Packwood WA just outside Mt Rainier NP. Hope this comment helps. - Tyler McIntosh BIGGER SIZE PICTURE HERE Submit Input: Your Name: Write or Paste Input here: Upload picture:      Input Submission Guidelines     Map Detailed Map Stats Stats for this river stretch Weather Local weather forecast These outdoors activities are available near Summit Creek.   Whitewater Near Summit Creek: Cowlitz River - Clear Fork, Lewis County, 2 miles away       Class V+ - 5 miles long (Lava Creek to La Wis Wis Campground) Ohanepecosh River, Lewis County, 3 miles away       Class V - 4.7 miles long (Ohanepecosh Campground to La Wis Wis Campground) Summit Creek, Lewis County, 3 miles away       Class V+ - 5 miles long (Soda Springs to Highway 123) Cowlitz River, Lewis County, 6 miles away       Class II - 7.6 miles long (La Wis Wis Campground to Packwood) Chinook Creek, Pierce County, 7 miles away       Class IV-V - 5 miles long (Deer Creek to Cedar Flats) Cowlitz River - Muddy Fork, Lewis County, 7 miles away       Class V - 5 miles long (to Cowlitz River) Johnson Creek, Lewis County, 10 miles away       Class V - 7.7 miles long (Glacier Creek to Highway 12) Cispus River, Lewis County, 11 miles away       Class V - 4 miles long (Goat Creek to FR 2160) Butter Creek, Lewis County, 12 miles away       Class III - 2.5 miles long (along FR 5270) White River, Pierce County, 14 miles away       Class III - 10 miles long (Silver Springs Campground to West Fork White)   Ski Areas Near Summit Creek: White Pass, Washington , 10 miles away, 1500 foot drop, 6 lifts, 32 runs Crystal Mountain, Washington , 12 miles away, 3100 foot drop, 11 lifts, 50 runs Summit at Snoqualmie, Washington , 35 miles away, 2280 foot drop, 26 lifts, 96 runs Alpental, Washington , 36 miles away, 2280 foot drop, 5 lifts, 19 runs Stevens Pass, Washington , 50 miles away, 1800 foot drop, 10 lifts, 37 runs Cooper Spur, Oregon , 61 miles away, 500 foot drop, 2 lifts, 10 runs Mt.
