River Summary: The Skookumchuck River is a 35-mile-long river located in southwestern Washington state. The river is known for its strong rapids, which have attracted kayakers and whitewater enthusiasts for many years. However, the river is also an important source of water for local agriculture and provides hydroelectric power through the Skookumchuck Dam, which was built in 1924. The dam creates the Skookumchuck Reservoir, which is used for fishing and boating. The river has a long history of human settlement, with indigenous peoples living along its banks for thousands of years. Today, the Skookumchuck River is an important part of the local ecosystem and provides recreational opportunities for residents and visitors alike.
