Wenatchee is the largest city of Chelan County, located in North Central Washington and lies on the west side of the Columbia River. The city is also known as the Apple Capital of the world, due to the valley's many apple cultivations.
Icicle Creek runs through Icicle Ridge and is connected with Wenatchee River. The river run starts from Ida Creek to Snow Creek trail head. It has a class 4 to 5,5+ difficulty level and range from 700 to 2000 c.f.s. The river is great for expert and advanced kayak enthusiasts with many challenging sections.
The run starts with a class 3 warm up and builds up to class 5 conditions as the water builds up. There are many drops, logs and a sequence of beautiful huge granite boulders to avoid and flows with big hydraulics that get developed along the way. Icicle Creek is definitely an extreme kayaking location.
Prepare to get wet in fresh, crystal clear cold water, take your gear with you, or plan an organized river trip and enjoy a fantastic white water kayak experience into the wild nature of Cascades.
