The Colockum access is an existing primitive boat launch on the edge of the Colockum Wildlife Area. The area is a nature lovers dream with botanists, wildlife viewers, hunters, fishers, hikers, and recreational boaters frequenting the area known for its warm dry climate. The site is located 20 minutes south of Wenatchee and accesses the Columbia River. The site is used year-round by fishermen, duck hunters, waterskiers, and boating recreationalists. The existing site has an unimproved dirt and native rock launch, grass and native rock parking, and no facilities. The scope of this project is to provide a concrete plank launch, delineated gravel parking for 6 vehicles and one ADA van space, plus designated overflow parking areas for up to 18 more, a vault toilet, widened road approach, and an upland ADA loading platform. Amenities being added will also incude boat tie ups and turnouts along the narrow access road. Public access to this stretch of the river is scarce, with the nearest access being approximately 7 miles downstream and over 20 miles upstream. This is the only public launch on the west side of the river from Wenatchee to Vantage. This is a popular walleye fishing area and a popular place to launch your boat to access the Wildlife Area for hunting.
