Paddling near Packwood, WA
Packwood sits in Lewis County along the Cowlitz River corridor, flanked by Mount Rainier National Park and the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. The area draws paddlers to several distinct waters: the flatwater Tilton River Canyon, multiple Cowlitz River floats ranging from mellow Class II to more technical upstream runs, and nearby Mineral Lake for calm-water kayaking and SUP.
