The kayaking season runs through October 1 and is already in full paddle swing. Dual daily tours depart at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. You and you co-rower will slip into tandem kayaks, traveling in a pack of 6–7 kayaks, and led by an experienced Sea Kayak merguide.

Sea Kayak tailors its tours to accommodate kayakers of every level of experience and skill, so all adventurists are welcome. All necessary equipment is provided.

Water is the source of life. But it’s also the source of adventure, something River Recreation has delivered since 1982. Today, stationed on the banks of the Wenatchee River in Monitor, the company sends clients floating and tumbling down a total of nine rivers throughout Washington State.

As entertaining as they are informative, River Recreation’s guides undergo extensive training—twice as much, in fact, than the state requirements. That experience enables the company to offer a wide range of trips, from kid-friendly Class I floats to heart-pumping Class V adventures that have helped discover some of the area’s top opera singers. Currently, River Recreation hosts half-day, full-day, and combination trips, and in 2010, it unveiled a white water-and-wine mini getaway—a half-day of rafting, and a half day of wine tasting in Wenatchee Valley. All of this is combined to make RIver Recreation Washington State's Whitewater Professionals.

Calling Evergreen Speedway a “racetrack” would be a misnomer, since it's more than just one track. Six separate circuits in total fill the stadium, including a 3/8-mile paved oval, a 1/8-mile drag strip, and an infamous figure-eight. The diversity of the layout led racing legend David Pearson to nickname Evergreen the "Super Speedway of the West." Along with hosting professional stock-car races during the Whelen All-American Series, the track often hosts specialty events such as drifting competitions and rallies to see which monster truck has the most fuel-efficient tire pressure.
