About the entiat river
The Entiat River is a 55-mile-long river located in central Washington state, USA. The river flows through the Entiat Valley, which is a region known for its agriculture, including orchards and vineyards. Historically, the Entiat River was used by Native Americans for fishing and gathering plants. In the early 1900s, several dams were constructed along the river to generate hydroelectric power, including the 45-megawatt Entiat Dam. The Entiat River is also home to several reservoirs, including the Lake Entiat reservoir, which is used for recreational activities such as boating and fishing. The river is an important source of water for irrigation and agriculture in the Entiat Valley. Despite being impacted by human development, the Entiat River remains an important habitat for fish and wildlife, including Chinook salmon and bald eagles.
