This project protects 65 acres on the Entiat River at River Mile 20.2-20.7. About half of the property lies west of Entiat River Road and includes both sides of three bends and a long run of the river. The project protects 2,020 feet of the river on both sides, for a total of 4,040 feet, plus associated floodplain and wetlands. This is a Category 1 watershed, identified as critical habitat for spring chinook salmon, steehead and bull trout. The RTT has identified the Stillwater Reach, RM 16-26 as "large pristine areas would be the highest priority" with Tier 1 priority. The January 2009 Entiat Tributary Assessment concluded that this reach (2C) has "high relative channel complexity" in an unconfined active floodplain. This particular property has considerable large woody material providing valuable habitat. The acquisition protects this pristine area from the negative effects of residential development including sedimentation, bank armoring, removal of LWD, removal of riparian vegetation. It also provides a critical link to surrounding property owned by the US Forest Service, and adds to the corridor of protected land in the Entiat Stillwaters.
