| Nolte State Park is a 117-acre day-use park with 7,174 feet of freshwater shoreline on Deep Lake in the Green River Gorge. There are two fishing docks provided. Covered with forests and blessed with water, the land was a resort for many years before it was donated to State Parks. Metal detecting is allowed in the developed area. Department of Fish and Wildlife fishing rules apply at all times. Formerly a vacation resort known as Deep Lake Park and owned by the Nolte family, the area was donated in the early 1970s to the state of Washington by Minnie Nolte, for whom the park is named. The lake is a popular fishing location both for stocked Rainbow trout and for moderate populations of native kokanee, yellow perch, catfish, and bass. Park amenities include a 123-car parking lot, two miles of trail, a 15 mile interpretive trail. The picnic area has 60 tables, 20 pedestal stoves and three picnic shelters. The small picnic area may be reserved for groups up to 50 people. Picnicking, hiking, fishing, swimming, jogging, and bird watching are enjoyed in the park. |
