The Whitewater River run in Washington state is a thrilling adventure that begins at the Pasayten Wilderness Boundary and ends at the Okanogan National Forest Boundary. The ideal streamflow range for the run is between 500 and 2000 cfs, which typically occurs during the spring snowmelt and early summer. The run is a Class III-IV, with some sections reaching Class V, and spans a total of 15 miles.
