Cowlitz PUD Accessible Fishing Pier<br />
Available year-round, the accessible fishing pier provides easy access to the<br />
<strong>Lewis</strong> <strong>River</strong> below the Swift Dam.<br />
<strong>The</strong> road cross over a portion of the spillway, a channel of river that feeds a small<br />
private utility company, Cowlitz PUD, powerhouse. Just after the road crosses<br />
the bridge, there is a small parking area to the left with a concrete platform that<br />
extends over the water.<br />
This site does not have much natural appeal aside from the platform, although<br />
this would be a great place to interpret the relationship between <strong>PacifiCorp</strong> and<br />
Cowlitz PUD within this hydroelectric project.<br />
This site is not an obvious fishing site. Accessible fishing platforms are a great<br />
recreational asset. This site should be signed.<br />
interpretive elements: An interpretive display<br />
describing how the channel<br />
of water is part of a larger<br />
hydroelectric project. An<br />
interesting sidebar might<br />
feature the devastating<br />
“blowout” when water burst<br />
through a portion of the<br />
channel and knocked out the<br />
powerhouse.<br />
Its hard to keep an avid fisherman from the water.<br />
