Little White Salmon Race (WA)

Today's the day!

Kayaker paddling through Boulder Sluice Rapid during the Little White Salmon Race.

The Little White Salmon Race is a high‑adrenaline whitewater kayak event held on the fast‑flowing canyon stretch of the Little White Salmon River in the Pacific Northwest. It threads a challenging series of Class V drops such as “Gettin’ Busy” and “Wishbone” through one of the Columbia River Gorge’s most dramatic river corridors. The event brings together elite paddlers and the local paddling community for a one‑day celebration of river culture, speed and skill in an iconic whitewater setting.
