Description:Large ‐scale river restoration programs have emerged recently as a tool for improving spawning habitat for native salmonids in highly altered river ecosystems. Few studies have quanti fied the extent to which restored habitat is utilized by salmonids, which habitat features in fluence redd site selection, or the persistence of restored habitat over time. We investigated fall ‐run Chinook salmon spawning site utilization and measured and modeled corresponding habitat characteristics in two restored reaches: a reach of channel and floodplain enhancement completed in 2013 and a recon figured channel and floodplain constructed in 2002. Redd surveys demonstrated that both restoration projects supported a high density of
