Here's an adrenaline-packed video of kayakers on Icicle Creek.  The Icicle Canyon attracts a variety of outdoor enthusiasts, and in particular, white water kayakers, where the experienced boater can embrace the challenges of maneuvering through hazardous, fast-moving obstacles.

 The Lower Icicle Creek is a great short run that can be paddled as a warm up for those thinking about running the middle Icicle Creek section or as a supplement to a day on the Wenatchee. 

Upper Run Goes From Cottonwood Campground to Road 5605

(Exit above Box Canyon)

 Distance: 6.7 miles

 Difficulty: Class III-IV

The first 2 miles of this paddle is an excellent stretch of moving water for novices to learn whitewater basics-- eddy turns, ferrying, bracing, surfing. A few class 1 to 2- rapids provide practice for contending with waves. Difficulty of the water depends on the water level (easier at medium to low water levels). The latter portion of this paddle provides a quiet, pleasant float through the delta and sloughs.

Johnson Creek to Stafford Creek.

A small canyon run which can be scouted from the Forest Service road. Alternative take-out downstream at 29 Pines Campground.
