Trout Unlimited’s Icicle Creek Fish Passage Improvement Project is a successfully implemented salmonid passage project in Lower Icicle Creek. The project improves access into the upper Icicle watershed for Steelhead and Bull Trout by providing passage through the Boulder Field within a window of flow conditions by-way-of a constructed a step-pool channel. The project opens approximately 23 miles of mainstem habitat and dozens of miles of tributary habitat for anadromous fishes while reconnecting Upper Icicle Creek with the rest of the Wenatchee River watershed.
The project improves access into Upper Icicle Creek watershed for Steelhead and Bull Trout by providing passage through the Boulder Field. The project also improved City of Leavenworth raw water delivery piping which needed to be relocated to facilitate step-pool channel construction.
