The White River is a river in Chelan County , Washington state . It is the more northerly and larger of the two rivers that flow into Lake Wenatchee to the west . The smaller and more southern is the Little Wenatchee River . The White River is part of the Columbia River Basin and a tributary of the Wenatchee River , which flows into the Columbia River. A large number of field names in the White River Basin, including the river name itself, come from Albert H. Sylvester .

course

The White River rises at White Pass, which separates the headwaters of the White River from those of the North Fork Sauk River and flows eastward to the confluence of Thunder Creek. From there the river flows the entire rest of the course southeast to the very end of Lake Wenatchee. About halfway between the confluence of Thunder Creek and the mouth, the river plunges over the impressive White River Falls and just below it the remote Napeequa River flows into it.
