Watchable Wildlife in the Yakima Basin

Discover the Wildlife of the Mid-Columbia Basin with the new Watchable Wildlife Map

Mid-Columbia Fisheries Enhancement Group (MCFEG) received a Watchable Wildlife grant from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. As part of this project, they have partnered with Northwest Portal to create an online interactive map of watchable wildlife opportunities, including salmon spawning locations, in the Mid-Columbia region of Central Washington. The easy-to-use multilingual map will be free to users and will expand options for people to find wildlife viewing opportunities of many types in the region. The map will be supported and updated for at least five years.

The map has recreation areas, lands, trails and facilities in the region. Help us improve the map by sharing information about points of interest, good places to view wildlife, and habitat areas.
