Entiat River — Ardenvoir

Columbia tributary with public-access reaches.

Washington · public-access reaches. This page is what the desk knows about the water itself. What it is doing today — flow, water temperature, weather, and the hazards those produce — is a reading with a date on it, and it lives in Trip Prep.

Who manages it

Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife

These links were checked against the live agency site on 2026-09-01. Rules for a water change inside a season, so the agency’s own page on the day you go is the only current answer — this desk does not hold one.

Directory review

Review provenance unavailable

The fleet directory holds no record by this name in Washington, so there is no directory review to show.

The agency links on this page were checked on 2026-09-01; check the agency’s own page the day you go.

How access works here

Road-adjacent public reaches

Freestone reaches on this list are generally reached from a road that runs the valley — bridge crossings, pullouts and public-land frontage. Between those, ownership changes without a sign.

Launch · Hand-launch for a raft or small drift boat at bridges and pullouts where it is legal. Confirm the take-out before you push off; a freestone take-out can be a long way down.

Parking · Parking is at designated access points. A pullout that looks fine is not automatically legal or safe to leave a vehicle in.

Washington publishes a statewide list of WDFW water access sites; a Discover Pass or WDFW vehicle access pass is normally required to park at them.

Gauge

A public gauge is mapped

Flow and water temperature for this water are read from USGS site 12452800, Entiat River near Ardenvoir, WA. It is an official public gauge, not a fishing pin: it describes the river at one point, and the reach you stand in may be doing something else.

Species · derived

5 plausible here

Derived from water class (freestone) and Pacific range — not a stocking record. Confirm species, seasons and any closures with Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.

  • Rainbow trout

    52–64°F published preference · handling becomes a conservation problem at 68°F

  • Cutthroat trout

    48–62°F published preference · handling becomes a conservation problem at 66°F

  • Brown trout

    54–67°F published preference · handling becomes a conservation problem at 68°F

  • Mountain whitefish

    46–64°F published preference · handling becomes a conservation problem at 68°F

  • Steelhead

    46–61°F published preference · handling becomes a conservation problem at 70°F
