The sign at this viewpoint area for the Horan Natural Area reads,
Below you is a ecosystem unique in this part of the state. There is over 100 acres of natural and man-made wetlands where the Columbia River and Wenatchee River meet. The river islands, cotton-wood grove, marshes, meadows, and pond each provide different environments for dozens of species of wildlife. These wetlands have functions important to humans, too. Walk through them at your own pace and enjoy what they have to offer.
