Lower Dryden Access
Lower Dryden Access
Lower Dryden Access is a popular put-in and take-out point on the Wenatchee River located below Dryden Dam, accessible via a short carry from a gravel parking area.
The site features a portage area around the dam and a launch just below it, with upstream beaches available for recreation, though weekends can be crowded with rafters portaging around the dam.
Access is managed by the Department of Transportation and Chelan Public Utility District; note that future changes to access are possible if DOT surpluses the property.
