The Dungeness River is located in Washington State and flows for approximately 32 miles from the Olympic Mountains to the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The river has a rich history, with evidence of human settlement dating back over 3,000 years. The hydrology of the river is influenced by the surrounding mountains and receives most of its flow from snowmelt and rain. The river is home to several important species of fish, including Chinook and Coho salmon. The river is also used for recreation, with several parks and hiking trails along its length. However, the river has been impacted by several dams and reservoirs, including the 327-foot-high Glines Canyon Dam, which was removed in 2014 to restore the river's natural flow. Agriculture is also an important use of the river, with irrigation districts drawing water from the Dungeness for crops such as lavender and berries.
