Kanaskat-Palmer State Park is a 320-acre camping park on a small, low plateau in a natural forest setting. The park has two miles of shorelines on the Green River. Boat and raft launching is by hand only. River rafting and kayaking down the Green River Gorge is for expert-level enthusiasts only. There is no boat-launch fee for this activity. Shoreline activities include nature appreciation, trout fishing and picnicking. The Green River is usually in the top ten steelhead rivers in Washington, adding to its popularity, especially in the winter months. There are three miles of hiking trails within the park. The area around Kanaskat-Palmer and the Green River Gorge is abundant with mining history. The area is still mined for coal, as it has been for many years. Nearby Flaming Geyser gets its methane flame from a coal seam. Also mined locally was cinnabar, the base ore for mercury.
