When it comes to scenery and whitewater, the Sauk is a hit! The river itself is federally protected as a wild and scenic river system and the pristine mountain scenery and wildlife surrounding the area is untamed. The water itself is a combination of snowpack and glacial melt, making for a beautiful green hue. Nearly continuous Class III to IV rapids run through large boulders creating great technical rapids like Alligator Drop, Jaws, and Popeye. Darrington is also the meeting place for the Sauk. Run this one when wanting to experience the true Washington mountain outback!

This great river is a national treasure and has been federally protected as a Wild & Scenic River by the U.S. Congress.
