The Suiattle River is federally protected
under the Wild & Scenic Rivers act. It’s in the
Northern Cascades near
Darrington. It’s a
class 2 to 3 through a lush mountain valley, with waterfalls and snow
capped peaks all around. Moss covered trees line the rivers edge, giving
you a feeling that civilization is a million miles away. Wildlife can
often be spotted on the banks and include deer, water birds, and sometimes
even an occasional bear. Logjams are the main hazard on this river. The
water carries a lot of glacial silt giving the water a milky appearance.
Since the Suiattle’s water source is glacial, the hotter weather brings
more water and the best levels for rafting are in July and August.
