Cascade (river)

The Cascade River is a river located in the U.S. state of Washington, flowing through the Cascade Range. It originates from glaciers and snowfields, then travels through rugged mountainous terrain, often featuring waterfalls and rapids. The river plays an important role in the local ecosystem, providing habitat for fish such as salmon and supporting surrounding plant life. It also offers recreational opportunities like fishing and whitewater rafting. The Cascade River ultimately joins larger bodies of water, contributing to regional water systems. Its clear, cold waters reflect the mountainous environment and natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest.
