White River - Buckley to Auburn
| Reporter | Silas Sleeper |
| Flow | Medium Flow |
Ran the White River from Buckley to Auburn with two pack rafts on 5/25/26. The flow was 1,500 cfs and it took us a total of 4 hours and 40 minutes from top to bottom. The White was everything we expected from the great class 2 rapids to the never-ending wood piles. Lots of blind corners and bends with wood hazards waiting on the downstream side just out of sight. We also saw two cars in the main channel that looked like fairly new additions. I would say we likely spent 70% of the time rafting and 30% of the time portaging / scouting. Based on the wood placement and morphology of the channel it seems like this river will be more hazardous at lower flows.
