The Wenatchee River out of Leavenworth is the most popular river rafting trip in the state of Washington for three very simple reasons: in the spring, when the river is high, the whitewater is awesome, in the summer when the river mellows, the weather is hot, and it can be traveled by inexperienced paddlers from 12 years on up. The Wenatchee River is the ideal river rafting trip. . . sometimes wild, but always 'forgiving', meaning every rapid ends in a pool of calmer water.

The Wenatchee River is a great introductory river rafting trip for those who know they'll enjoy the 'rollercoaster' waves that make up the Wenatchee's whitewater rapids and who aren't afraid of getting wet.

Other suitable river trips for families and river rafting enthusiasts include: the ‘magic’ Skagit River in the North Cascades National Park, the Federally-protected Wild & Scenic Sauk River outside the Glacier Peak Wilderness Area, and the only white water river rafting in Washington during the month of September --- the Tieton River.
