Glacier Peak Wilderness

The river sits in the Glacier Peak Wilderness area and is in no danger of human caused pollution or other impacts.

Gusty winds and a lack of rain from recent thunderstorms helped the Airplane Lake Fire grow approximately 1,200 acres in the last few days. The lightning caused fire in the White River drainage of the Glacier Peak Wilderness was reported July 7th and is considered at 0% containment.

There've been about 70 fires so far, but the largest has only been 6 acres.
