Soleduck River

River Description

FUN FACT: Fun river when there's water to fill in the boulder gardens.

SEASON: Winter rain storms. Generally best when rivers are moderately high.

ACCESS: From Highway 101 mile 216.4 turn south on FR 2918. Follow this road to mile 3.0 and the bridge across the Soleduck. This is the put-in or use an access downstream closer to Highway 101. The take-out is at Klahowya Campground (use the downstream of the two bridges). The campground is located at Highway 101 mile 211.9 on the north side of the road or continue a short distance downstream to the access on the south side of Highway 101.

DESCRIPTION:

Several boulder gardens. The most challenging rapid, "Bridge Drop", can be viewed from the Highway 101 bridge at mile 212.6 just upstream from the take-out.
