Stay on upper reach trails and stay out of the river gorge
information released by Chelan PUD
Chelan PUD would like to remind everyone to stay on trails in the upper reaches of the Chelan River and abide by “no trespassing” signs in other areas, specifically in the Chelan River Gorge.
As you know, the Chelan Gorge is a narrow, rocky channel of the Chelan River, located in an area with limited cell phone coverage and hazardous terrain. Rescues are extremely difficult. Changes in river flow can create hazardous conditions quickly and unpredictably, including higher water levels, fast currents, and potential entrapment. Chelan PUD has posted dozens of signs warning of the no-trespass areas for public safety.
