More powerful than its name would suggest, the Chiwawa River is punctuated by powerful intermediate level rapids as it drains the eastern Cascades and Glacier Peak Wilderness areas. Nearly continuous rapids pulse through three separate gorges, as the cold and clear waters of the Chiwawa River race downstream.
The narrow riverbed of the Chiwawa is lined with thick fir and cedar forest and gravel beaches, offering visitors a feeling of near wilderness isolation. The season for boating the Chiwawa is short, extending just over a month in length, with day long commercially guided trips available during this brief window of boatable flows.
