Its almost entirely in BC but dips into Okanogan County for a bit before flowing into the Okanogan River.
The head of the Similkameen is directly adjacent to the head of the Skagit which also starts in BC.

I believe the Pasayten river flows into this one but way upstream

Indeed it does! The Ashnola is another river that starts in WA and flows into the Similkameen before it crosses back into Washington. I got some good exploration in on the Tulameen last year which is another tributary that's all BC side but yeah, pretty cool river system.

Hopefully the Enloe Dam is taken out soon, then it’ll be even prettier!

Are they considering removing it?? That would be awesome!

The process is slow but some progress is being made!

It would be suuuch an awesome thing to have salmon running up the Similkameen into BC, I hope the dam removal happens! Wouldn't be the first removal like that in Washington
