The Soleduck River offers beautiful rainforest scenery, clear water, and challenging rapids in this segment in the glacially-carved upper Soleduck Valley. While Highway 101 parallels the river, its presence is screened by the river's heavily vegetated steep banks. The most difficult rapid is found at mile 5. The take-out is on Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife property, so a vehicle access permit or Discover Pass is required to park a vehicle there.
