Snowmelt-fed run through Tumwater Canyon near Leavenworth. Continuous Class III with bigger water at higher flows. Commercial raft run.

Annual fall dam release creates reliable Class III-IV whitewater. Tieton Festival in September. Short season but excellent paddling.

Spring-fed river in the Columbia Gorge. Crystal-clear water, consistent flows year-round. Husum Falls is a committing Class IV-V drop.

Remote wilderness run near Darrington. Glacier-fed with beautiful scenery. Solid Class III with wood hazards.

Close to Seattle with easy access. Class II-III, great for building whitewater skills. Can run low in summer.

Beautiful basalt gorge near Auburn. Portage Headwall at high water. Class III-IV in a tight canyon. Watch for wood.

Outstanding Oregon whitewater. Bob's Hole is a famous playspot. Carter Bridge to Fish Creek is the classic run.
