About the wenatchee river
The Wenatchee River is a 90-mile long river in Washington State, USA. It flows through the Cascade Range and into the Columbia River. Historically, the river was used by Native American tribes for fishing and hunting, and later by settlers for irrigation and transportation. The river is fed by snowmelt and rain and is known for its whitewater rapids, making it a popular destination for rafting and kayaking enthusiasts. The river is also used for agricultural irrigation and hydroelectric power generation, with several dams and reservoirs along its course, including the Lake Wenatchee Dam, Tumwater Dam, and Rock Island Dam. The river supports a diverse range of fish species, including salmon and steelhead, and is an important habitat for wildlife.
