AccessThere's easy access for both the put in and take out. Both require a very short hike to or from the river. There are great views of Mt. Si along this stretch of river! There are no bathrooms, just an FYI. |

Fun FactsGreat views of Mount Si, North Bend has the NB Bar and Grill with some good grub and beer. If you are in the mood for a milkshake, there's a Dairy Freeze across the street from the bar and grill. If you are a Twin Peaks fan, Twede's Café was part of the show and stil is open for business....I've always wanted to stop in and get some pie :) |
Run Description [Season: ]By Megspk 11/4/2014
A nice class two with some great spots for working on basic skills with minimal consequence.
A great section of river with class 1 or 2 options. Like most rivers you can make it more challenging by making your way around rocks and trying to catch rock eddies. There's a great wave train near the end of the run and there's also a great spot right before the take out where you can work on ferries and sturns. It's a short flat water paddle to the take out from here. I'd recommend at least 1000 cfs, I was out there at about 900 and it was very shallow in spots, but still able to be paddled.
