River Description

FUN FACT: Fun river when there's water to fill in the boulder gardens.

To reach the take-out, travel west to Highway 101 mile 206.4 and turn south on Hillstrom Rd. and follow it to the boat launch access.

Gauge Information

Gauge Description:

There is an old USGS gauging station (stn. 12041500, 1917-1980) with an intact staff gauge upstream (see directions for finding it on the Upper Soleduck description). For the most part you can check the visually along the shuttle road and from several bridges that cross the Soleduck. For those trying to assess the run from a remote location check the Hoh River gauge (look for it to be up around 4000).
