Wenatchee River

For whitewater lovers the Wenatachee River has been a long time summer destination! Located on the east side of the North Cascades the Wenatchee has great summer time flows, sunshine, great camping, and whitewater for all levels. Summer time Class 5 boating can be found on Tumwater Canyon and Icicle Creek. Tumwater Canyon has some of the best big water class 5 kayaking in the NW, while Icicle has continuous, steep, and technical class 5-5+.

For those wanting something a little mellower head to the German style town of Leavenworth aprx. 15 minutes west form the normal class 3 takeout. From Leavenworth paddlers will enjoy big water that is well suited for intermediates.

Just above Cashmere play boaters will be treated to world class play. Spots like Rodeo Hole, Trinity, Turkey Shoot, and Grannies will keep even the best play boaters satisfied!

After a long day of boating head into Leavenworth and enjoy a good German beer in a German style town set below steep snow covered peaks. Let yourself drift off and you may think you have flown to Europe!

If the flows are between 12,000-2000 go check out the Wenatchee!
