Umtanum Access provides a historic 220-foot suspension footbridge—the only pedestrian crossing to the west side of the Yakima River within the 27-mile canyon—offering access to trails including the 8-mile Umtanum Creek Trail and connections to the Skyline Trail.

The BLM recreation site features 18 campsites, vault toilets, picnic areas, and a non-motorized river put-in/takeout, with a $5 day-use or $15 overnight fee; the site attracts over 100,000 annual visitors for hiking, fishing, and wildlife viewing.
