| | Lake Wentachee State Park | | The park is a 489-acre camping park with 12,623 feet of waterfront on glacier-fed Lake Wentachee and the Wentachee River. The park is bisected by the Wentachee River, creating two distinct areas -- South Park, with areas for camping, swimming and horseback riding; and North Park, in a less developed, forested section, a quarter-mile walk from the lake. Other activities include hiking and picnicking, in the wintertime, cross-country skiing and sledding. |
|
| | Peshastin Pinnacles State Park | | This is a 34-acre desert park featuring a group of sandstone slabs and spires called "the pinnacles." Climbable spires reach 200 feet into the air. Rocks and trails provide views of surrounding orchards, the Enchantment Mountain Range, and the Wentachee River valley. The park provides five unsheltered picnic tables and two vault toilets. Park visitors should bring their own water to the park. The park offers a mile and a half of steep hiking trail. For rock climbers, slabs and spires vary from easy to difficult and require rock-climbing equipment. |
|
| | Wentachee Confluence State Park | | This is a 197-acre year-round camping park at the confluence of the Wentachee and Columbia rivers. Situated at the edge of town, the park has two personalities. The North Confluence is urban and recreational, while the South Confluence is a wetland natural area. Muskrat and beaver may be seen in the rivers here. The park has shaded, grassy areas, sports fields, a roped-off river swimming beach, a boat launch and walking access to the Horan Natural Area. |
