Klickitat River

The wild and scenic Klickitat River is a top conservation priority for Columbia Land Trust. Swiftly descending from Mt. Adams wilderness through centuries old pine and oak forests, remnant native prairies, unique wetlands, and impressive basalt canyons, this river supports myriad fish and wildlife, including many endangered species, while inspiring a colorful history of fishing, hunting, grazing, and timber management. Poised to play an important role in preserving the unique character of this cherished place, the land trust has joined the community in protecting more than 3,000 acres of critical habitat and resource lands in the Klickitat River watershed.
