Colockum Access Improvements
- Status
- Funded in 2009
The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife will use this grant to install a boat launch, gravel parking lot, and toilet on the edge of the Colockum Wildlife Area to provide access to the Columbia River. Access to this stretch of the river is scarce, with the nearest launch about 7 miles downstream and more than 20 miles upstream. The Colockum access is a primitive boat launch with a dirt and rock launch, grass and rock parking, and no facilities. Work will include widening the road approach, building a loading platform for people with disabilities, adding boat tie ups, and creating turnouts along the narrow access road. This is the only public launch on the west side of the river from Wenatchee to Vantage. The site is 20 minutes south of Wenatchee and is used year-round. (08-1489)
Location
From Wentachee (Hwy 2) take the Wenatchee Avenue exit and head south through Malaga. At mile marker 13 take a left at the Y onto Tarpiscan Road. The access is a gravel road to the left as soon as you enter the wildlife area.
