About the similkameen river


The Similkameen River is a 197-kilometer long river that flows through southern British Columbia and northern Washington State. The river originates in the Cascade Mountains and joins the Okanagan River before flowing into the Columbia River. The river has a long history of use by Indigenous people, who relied on its fish, wildlife, and water resources. Today, the river is used for a variety of recreational activities, including fishing, swimming, kayaking, and camping. The river is also an important source of irrigation for agriculture, with several reservoirs and dams constructed along its length to control water flow and provide water for crops. The largest of these is the Enloe Dam, which was built in the early 20th century to provide power to the local mining industry.
