Description

The Douglas County PUD provides this take-out facility on the Methow as a condition of their federal license to operate the nearby Wells Dam on the Columbia River. There is a large parking area with no permit requirement, a restroom, and some informational and interpretive signage. This site is located about 0.7 miles upriver from Highway 97 on the river right. Red buoys in the Methow mark submerged hazards but also indicate the location of the take-out, which is partially screened from view from the rier by vegetation.
