Methow River Erosion Threatening Infrastructure, Officials Say Planning For Spring Runoff Already Underway

Officials in Okanogan County say they’re working against time and Mother Nature to have a solution in place by next spring to prevent more erosion in the Methow River.

So far, a segment of the Community Trail in Twisp Park has slipped into the river, and further erosion could impact more of the trail, a church, a sewer main and possibly Highway 20.

A group of experts, officials and private landowners met in Twisp last week to discuss erosion control plans. KOHO sent Ken Johannessen to learn more.
