Washington Water Trails Association
Washington Water Trails Association (WWTA) is a non-profit collaboration of people who love to travel and enjoy the world by small boats. We joined together in 1990, realizing that urbanization and privatization of Washington's shorelines are limiting access to and rapidly changing the pristine nature of Washington's waterways. WWTA provides a clear voice for small boater's rights and a helping hand to preserve access to Washington's waters for future generations.
Around the world there are many types of water trails. For WWTA a water trail is a route along a river or across other bodies of water such as a lake or salt water for people using small beachable boats like kayaks, canoes, day sailers or rowboats. Water trails are most often identified by the land facilities that support water travel. These include launch and landing sites (we call these trailheads), campsites, rest areas, and other points of interest. On land, trails have distinct treads or walkways; on water it’s the entire water surface, a surface that is constantly changing with flow, tide, current, boat wakes, and wind.
Our mission is to establish access, recreation and educational opportunities in an environmentally sensitive manner for users of human and wind-powered, beachable water craft on the marine and inland waterways of Washington State.
