White Salmon River
The White Salmon River in Washington state was historically a significant source of food and transportation for Native American tribes. It flows for 44 miles from its source on Mount Adams to its confluence with the Columbia River. The river's hydrology has been impacted by several dams, including the Condit Dam which blocked fish migration until its removal in 2011. The Northwestern Lake and Lake Celilo reservoirs remain in place, providing hydroelectric power and irrigation water for agricultural purposes. The river is also a popular destination for whitewater rafting and fishing. The National Wild and Scenic Rivers Act designated a section of the White Salmon River as a protected river, ensuring its conservation and public access for recreational use.
