River Links

Federal regulators have just issued a new license for the Chelan Hydroelectric Project. This new license will restore flows for the benefit of fish and paddlers in one of Washington State's most scenic river canyons.

On July 8, 9, 10, 2000, a team of six kayakers made the first descent of the Chelan Gorge in Washington. This was more than an adventurous first descent--this was an attempt to restore whitewater opportunities to the Gorge. The endeavor showcased whitewater kayakings attributes to the local community creating promise for future releases.
