Though the river's valley is heavily logged—earlier in the 20th Century the area was covered by a dense network of Logging Railway s—the river itself flows through a modest yet picturesque canyon with the clearest water in the area. The Chehalis is a recognized fishing stream and, together with its tributaries such as Statlu Creek, offers tremendous opportunities for class III and IV Whitewater recreation. The river's canyon and the peaks and cliff-faces of the range encircling its basin, which comprises most of the area of the Douglas Ranges , is popular with rock-climbers and hikers, who call the area "the Chehalis". There is a small ski resort, Hemlock Valley , on the western side of the Chehalis River basin. A road penetrates the northeast rim of the range into the Harrison Lake basin and on to historic Port Douglas , at the head of that lake, and beyond up the Lillooet River via Skookumchuck Hot Springs to Pemberton – Mount Currie . This road, named the Sasquatch Highway will be paved before the 2010 Winter Olympics to connect Hwy 7 ( Lougheed Highway ) at the community of Chehalis with Hwy 99 (the Sea-to-Sky Highway ) at Mount Currie .
