Description

Crooked Creek is located entirely within the Wenaha-Tucannon Wilderness. All of the tributaries of Crooked Creek are in Washington State. Just the last one ½ mile of Crooked Creek is in Oregon before it flows into the Wenaha River.

Crooked Creek is a major creek for a large drainage area. Thus, there are many other creeks contributing to Crooked Creek's size and volume. The creek runs clear and cold. Steelhead, spring/summer chinook salmon, and whitefish as well as bull trout and rainbow trout, can be found in Crooked Creek. The Federally listed T&E species have special restriction, so be sure to check with Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife fishing regulations to check on closures and limits before starting to fish. The lower two miles of Crooked Creek is located in Oregon, so be sure you know which side of the state border you’re on.

Since Crooked Creek is entirely within the Wenaha-Tucannon Wilderness, remoteness and challenge are its major draws (along with the fish). The creek is lightly fished, thus ensuring seclusion. The access trails and trails along the creek are well maintained. A fishing trip into the area would offer a tremendous experience and an enjoyable time by all!
