Bureau of Reclamation, Washington.
Keechelus Dam which is part of the Yakima Project was constructed at the lower end of a natural lake. The reservoir is located on the Yakima River about 10 miles northwest of Easton. This lake contains 2,560 water-surface acres. Anglers will find salmon, cutthroat trout, and rainbow trout.
Effective immediately, Reclamation will require all boats launching at Lake Berryessa to participate in a seal program to prevent the spread of invasive mussels. All vessels wishing to launch at Lake Berryessa will be inspected. A red quarantine seal will be applied for 30 days during, which the vessel will not be permitted to launch. Vessels that have finished the 30-day quarantine may return to the lake and have the seal removed by authorized staff and will be allowed to launch. For more information on this updated protocol, please view the press release here: https://www.usbr.gov/newsroom/news-release/5031.
The Site is located along I-90 between Ellensburg and North Bend.
