An upper fork of the Skykomish River system, the North Fork Skykomish drains snowmelt the Sky Valley Wilderness, Mt. Index, Mt. Persis, and Gunn Peak. Receiving lighter commercial use than the main Skykomish, the North Fork Skykomish features a steep and narrow riverbed studded with numerous boulders, making for excellent advanced level whitewater rafting while the water is running.

Cold waters rage through technical rapids with stout holes and big waves. Small breaks between drops allow for excellent viewing of the surrounding mountain peaks. Day long trips are commercially offered along the North Fork Skykomish as are overnight trips in combination with the main Skykomish.

Due to the technical and cold nature of the North Fork Skykomish, participants must be above a certain age and in good physical condition.
