Many people don’t know that there are actually two different Wenatchee Rivers found here in North Central Washington. The Wenatchee River flows out of Lake Wenatchee and passes the communities of Plain, Leavenworth, Peshastin, Dryden, Cashmere, Monitor and Wenatchee before emptying into the Columbia River. There is however another river, this one called the Little Wenatchee River, that flows from out of the Cascade Mountains and into the west end of Lake Wenatchee. We’ve had photos of the Wenatchee River online for quite sometime, but we’ve just recently added photos of the Little Wenatchee River to our “Rivers of NCW” gallery.
