About This Access Site
Hour Creek Confluence is a whitewater access point on the Waptus River in Kittitas County, Washington. Located at the confluence with Hour Creek, this site provides access to whitewater paddling opportunities on the Waptus, a river known for its scenic canyon sections and moderate to challenging rapids. The site serves as a put-in or take-out point for kayakers and canoeists running whitewater sections of the river. As with many backcountry river access points in the North Cascades region, conditions can vary seasonally based on snowmelt and weather patterns.
