ELWHA RIVER
Go there and contact
The dams of Elwha and Glines Canyon were built in 1913 and 1927 without the development of a passage for fish, as required by law. Since then, thousands of salmon could no longer reach the Elwha Valley. In 1992, the United States Congress passed a law ordering the destruction of these dams. In doing so, Lake Aldwell disappeared in 2012 and Lake Mills in 2014. This is the largest project of this kind in the history of the United States. The goal? Ensure that the five species of Pacific salmon return to the Olympic National Park in Droves to reproduce. The landscapes of the Elwha River have changed dramatically in recent years. The national park teams revégétalisé the sédimenteuses areas left empty by the missing lakes.
There are many pleasant walks along the Elwha river. Also see, the Madison Falls, a pretty waterfall 5 minutes walk from the parking lot.
