The Wenatchee River is a stunning freestone stream that flows approximately 55 miles from its origin at Lake Wenatchee until it joins the Columbia River at the town of Wenatchee. Set against the backdrop of scenic mountains in central Washington, this river has earned a reputation as one of the state's most beautiful and productive fishing destinations. The Wenatchee River watershed is characterized by its clear waters, diverse habitats ranging from mountain streams to valley sections, and significant runs of anadromous fish that make their way from the Columbia River system.
