The North Fork Lewis River (often referred to as just the Lewis River) below FR 9039 runs through a scenic canyon with waterfalls plunging over basalt cliffs directly into the river. Riding the river, which on this stretch is relatively gentle with mostly Class II to III rapids, offers a unique perspective on these beautiful falls. The take-out point is directly across from Eagle Cliffs just as the river empties into Swift Reservoir. Parts of the river offer great views of Mt St Helens. At higher water levels, there are several great standing wave play spots for experienced kayakers.
