About this river

Tucannon River

The Tucannon River is a 51-mile-long tributary of the Snake River located in southeastern Washington State. It was named after the Tucannon tribe of Native Americans who once lived in the area. The river has its source in the Blue Mountains and flows through the Tucannon Valley. It is a popular destination for recreational activities like fishing, hunting, and camping. The river is also used for irrigation and agriculture, with several irrigation projects in the area. There are two significant reservoirs along the Tucannon River, including the Tucannon River Reservoir and the Corps of Engineers Tucannon River Project. The latter was built in the 1960s to provide flood control, recreation, and water supply for nearby communities. The Tucannon River is an essential resource for the people of southeastern Washington, and its hydrology is carefully managed to support the region's economy and ecosystem.
