Suiattle River Boundary Bridge Access Assessment

ReporterThomas O'Keefe

Site visit to the Boundary Bridge that has served as a primary access point to the Suiattle River for decades. In 2004 the river left approach to the bridge was washed away where a formal river access site was provided by the Forest Service. The bridge was extended but no accommodations for river access were made. We took measurements and assessed the condition of access being used on the upstream river right side of the bridge. We confirmed this access is within the Forest Service right of way for the bridge, a strip 66' wide extending 33' on either side from the centerline of the bridge as filed with the State of Washington on April 24, 1964.
