Paul and Muriel Milem took advantage of the weather to paddle segments of the Columbia River around Central Washington. They circumnavigated Crescent Bar and had such a good time, they did the same trip two days in a row. We think this segment deserves another paddle this fall.

This old post lists of most of the public access points along the Wenatchee River. We've just added what we know about swimming or dipping at these accesses -- some are excellent places to cool off on a hot summer day.

A lush stream with cellophane-clear water, abundant birdlife, and piles of driftwood, Lower Nason Creek offers several paddling options -- one that will appeal to the whitewater crowd, another that canoeists will find interesting.

The Hanford Reach is billed as the last free-flowing stretch of the Columbia River in the United States. That's true. But it is not, as some claim, in a natural state unchanged since the days of David Thompson. Despite the post-apocalyptic nuclear reactors on one side of the river, this is a scenic, memorable trip.

The Chelan County commissioners recently prohibit motorized boats and personal watercraft on the White River. This is good news for canoeists who enjoy paddling in silence and for salmon who enjoy spawning without becoming sushi. Paddle the river.

Though slightly out of our territory, the Yakima River is fed by reservoirs and can be canoed in late summer and fall. When our backyard rivers trickle out, the Yakima River gives local paddlers options.
