Northwest Discovery Water Trail
The Northwest Discovery Water Trail links the Clearwater River in Idaho, Snake River in Idaho and Washington, and Columbia River in both Washington and Oregon. The majority of the 367-mile water trail is in eastern Washington State, an area of incomparable beauty and astounding natural features. The Northwest Discovery Water Trail website highlights some of the natural and cultural features of the region, as well as recreational opportunities for boaters.
This project started with a meeting convened by the Army Corps of Engineers in the Tri-Cities November 2001. Washington Water Trails Association, representatives from tribes, county and state park departments, and various Lewis and Clark Bicentennial organizations agreed with the Corps Portland and Walla Walla District staff that the concept was sound and achievable.
When joined with the Lower Columbia River Water Trail at Bonneville, the two trails span the width of southern Washington from Clarkston to Cape Disappointment on 474 miles of navigable water.
