The town is the starting point of the Pe Ell River Run. Begun as a birthday celebration between a local group of young men in 1978, the event consists of entrants buying or building water crafts and floating down the [[Chehalis River (Washington)|Chehalis River]] from Pe Ell to [[Rainbow Falls State Park]], where riders can float over a slight waterfall that still remains despite severe flooding damage due to the [[Great Coastal Gale of 2007]].<ref>{{cite news |last1=Brown |first1=Alex |title=Swollen Chehalis Doesn't Impede River Run Revelry |url=https://www.chronline.com/stories/swollen-chehalis-doesnt-impede-river-run-revelry,18075? |access-date=December 31, 2021 |work=The Chronicle |date=April 17, 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=Collucci |first1=Paula |title=Pe Ell River Runners Hit the Rapids |url=https://www.chronline.com/stories/pe-ell-river-runners-hit-the-rapids,191122? |access-date=December 31, 2021 |work=The Chronicle |date=April 13, 2009}}</ref>
