Trip Report

ReporterKathryn Spencer

On 8/12/12, we stopped at the Tumwater Campground and talked with a lady who works for the company contracted to manage the USFS campground. Our question was where to take out since the WA DOT construction has the usual take out blocked. She said folks can park in the picnic area of the campground (to the right as you enter) and take out on river left before the bridge. Landing there looked very feasible, but entering the short gravel road by vehicle, down to the take out, looked hazardous from the west side, due to the sharp turn required on the narrow, curving Tumwater Canyon highway. You might want to drive toward Leavenworth until you reach a place where you can turn around and then approach it from that direction. There was a porta potty between the highway and the take out when we were there.
