Wenatchee River

The Wenatchee River rises from Lake Wenatchee in Washington’s Cascade Mountains and flows about 53 miles southeast through the dramatic, forested Tumwater Canyon with steep cliffs, past Leavenworth and fertile orchard valleys, before joining the Columbia River near Wenatchee. Its varied landscape of mountain woods, canyons and orchards invites whitewater rafting and kayaking on lively rapids, relaxing summer tubing and fishing, making it a favorite playground for outdoor enthusiasts.
