About Chilako River
This site offers access to the Chilako River for non-motorized day use only activities such as picnicking and swimming, and is a popular spot to beat the heat during the summer months. Due to past motorized use that was causing damage to the river-side environment, extensive work has been undertaken to prevent further damage. The use of motorized vehicles and overnight camping is not permitted at this site.
