There's some flowing water nearby, Bear Creek is a stream you can explore while here, and a great spot to camp here
at Georges Peak Trail is Big Fir Campground and RV Park. You imagine that's enough? Just getting warmed up. Get your pulse rate up on the magnificent whitewater of Coweeman River.
Whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then we recommend Kalama River, and
naturally Arnold Creek flows through this neighborhood. Bear Pass is a good site to visit close by, and Washboard Falls is a gorgeous place to take a look at while you're at Georges Peak Trail. That right there is heaps of cool stuff already but it goes on, the Northern Cascade
Range has it all. The nice people of Longview-Kelso like to hang out nearby, and camping at Lewis River RV Park is always a pleasant experience.
