Churning white water rushes powerfully between rocky cliffs, creating mist at the base of a narrow gorge—a dramatic contrast to the peaceful landscapes often found on agritourism adventures nearby. Exposed rocks emphasize the river’s turbulence and force.

A definite must do!

Carved over millions of years as the Kettle River scoured through its metamorphic rock, the Cascade Gorge is one of our most treasured natural attractions. In the spring, the winter melt-off surges through the canyon with an awesome display of power; by the end of summer the water levels recede to reveal the series of “kettles” carved in to the canyon walls and basin. A must-see attraction while in the region, it needs to be experienced in person to be fully appreciated.
