Dryden Dam Access is a heavily used public river access point on the Wenatchee River where boaters must portage around the diversion dam; the site features a parking area and boat launch located just below the dam.

The access is jointly managed by the Washington Department of Transportation and Chelan Public Utility District, and serves whitewater paddlers, anglers, and commercial outfitters as a key gateway to the river.

Note that the DOT may surplus the access road property in the future, so availability should be confirmed before visiting.
