The starting point is not too far from Mount Vernon-Anacortes, as you can see on the road map further down. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Washington are harder than the national norm, so don't forget that many of the rivers here are not very forgiving. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, and if you make reservations |
in advance you're all set. The natural beauty of Washington and the cool fresh water are reasons enough to come here and paddle. The to National Forest Sky stretch is one of a few paddling stretches in this river system.
| Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking around here you'll find a large number of good rivers. The wild scenery of the Northern Cascade Range is great. This stretch is short so no need to bring snacks. A bit of exercise and just being out on the river for a while are great reasons to come. The to National Forest Sky section of Trout Creek is 2 miles long and is a class V+ section of whitewater according to American Whitewater.
