The Wenatchee River is probably the most popular whitewater run in the state, particularly this section from Peshastin to Cashmere, which features several challenging Class 3 rapids with waves, holes, drops, and eddies. The first rapid is Rock 'n Roll at 0.75 miles, lasting for over a quarter mile. Below these, right after the confluence of Peshastin Creek, is a mandatory portage to the right around a large dam with a nasty hydraulic. Next up is Gorilla Falls just under the Route 2 bridge. Other Class 3 rapids include Drunkard's Drop at 6.2 miles and Snowblind at 8.4. Parking at the put-in requires a Department of Fish and Wildlife permit.
