non-profit organization that represents federal land permit holders in the
upper White River Valley of Washington StateThe White River Recreational Association is a non-profit organization
that has represented federal land permit holders in the upper White River
Valley of Washington State since 1929. It is affiliated with the National
Forest Homeowners, the organization dedicated to preservation of the
recreational residence program. WRRA has five tracts: Silver Springs; Silver,
Deep and Goat Creeks; and the Dalles, all located in the Mt. Baker Snoqualmie
National Forest. WRRA has around 250 members, so it is one of the oldest and
largest organizations of its kind. WRRA works collaboratively with the United
States Forest Service and other government entities including local, state, and
county law enforcement and fire prevention, and local communities, businesses,
and civic groups to preserve and provide broad access to recreational
activities in the upper White River Valley.
