White Chuck Boat Launch
The White Chuck boat launch is located just downstream from the confluence of the White Chuck and Sauk Rivers. This site offers non-motorized boat access to the Middle Sauk River for rafting and kayaking on the Darrington District. This stretch of river known for its whitewater thrills is a favorite in the Skagit System. Rapids are class II-III, but rise to class IV during high flows. The typical rafting is from late May to early August.
A short trail follows the river downstream to several viewpoints with interpretive signing. The launch is walk in only with no ramp and will put you in at river mile 31.8.
