Sol Duc

Sol Duc R. nr Quillayute- 18 feet

Put in our packrafts at the hatchery (48.0561, -124.30888) boat launch, which has good parking and a bathroom, frequented by people fishing and their boats, discovery pass required. Good class 2 rapids, with wave trains and a few boulder gardens often followed by calm river and pools. No major wood obstructions. I did not mark the rapids, as the rain made working with the phone challenging. There are sections with cabins/homes at rivers edge, but also long sections of wilderness. After passing under the red Maxfield bridge, take out river right, on the boat launch ramp. The boat launch at the Maxfield bridge (48.02257, -124.38370), has a bathroom, discovery pass needed, and parking is sometimes scarce on the weekend. For some reason, this boat launch does not show up on google maps. Trip was 7.5 miles and took around 3 hours with lunch break.
