on the water

This section is very popular with new boaters. It is essentially Western Washington's whitewater park, so be mindful of that as you choose your section. At low water levels some sections can be quite "boney" and not great for practicing swimming, but there are some deeper eddies that are good most of the year. There is one wave train that is popular with boaters and paddle boarders who want to practice surfing. There is ample eddy space on either side of the wave train, and it washes out nicely, so when it's not crowded, this is a good place to practice swimming ferries. Lower down, the river eases up but still has moving current that can offer some good practice.
