Special Feature: AWA - Chiwawa River Survey
Help Us Understand Boating on the Lower Chiwawa River (WA)
American Whitewater - BETA
Do you paddle the Lower Chiwawa River outside of Leavenworth, WA? Your input is needed. Chelan County has launched a survey to better understand how people use the Lower Chiwawa River for recreation–especially whitewater boating. The survey will help project planners and land managers determine whether and how the river is being used by kayakers, rafters, and other river users, and how future restoration and development efforts might support or impact access and navigation. If you’ve ever floated the Lower Chiwawa River, anywhere from Huckleberry Campground to the confluence with Wenatchee River, or even just thought about paddling it—your voice is needed.The survey is part of a broader effort to guide upcoming floodplain and salmon habitat restoration projects in the Lower Chiwawa corridor. Chelan County has already begun design work on multiple projects along this reach, and this input will help ensure that recreational boaters are included in that process.
