Document - Wenatchee Okanogan NF RFA Comment 3JAN2008

Abstract

Facilities along rivers that include trailheads, picnic areas, and campgrounds provide critical access points for whitewater recreation however many of these sites are not currently being managed to meet the needs of whitewater paddlers. Sites do not necessarily need to have areas specific to whitewater recreation but in modifying, managing, and designing sites along rivers attention should be given to this need and the broader need for contact access to the water. We wish to see more sites such as Salmon La Sac Campground on the Cle Elum River and Sawmill Flat Campground on the Naches River where access to the water is designed to be compatible with other uses.
