Lewis River fees
To enable PacifiCorp to continue providing a quality recreation experience at camping and picnic sites on the Lewis River in southwest Washington, a new fee structure will be implemented starting December 1, 2023 for the 2024 season.
This new fee structure will help cover increased operating costs for the recreation facilities and keep the facilities well maintained and ready for use. The new fees are comparable to the costs of other recreation sites in Washington.
