Picnic Areas

Bumping Lake
The lake is one of the headlining features of the Yakima Project. The lake and dam is located in the Cascade Mountains east of Mount Rainier National Park about 29 miles northwest of Naches, Washington. There is good access to this 1,300-acre reservoir available through Washington State Highway 410. Fishing opportunities for visitors can prove to be rewarding. Some of the fish in the lake include kokanee, salmon, and rainbow trout.

Maryhill State Park
This is a 99-acre camping park with 4,700 feet of waterfront on the Columbia River in Klickitat County. The park has two boat ramps and 216 feet of dock for boat handling only. Maryhill State Park was acquired by lease from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in 1972 at no cost. Sam Hill, considered a local eccentric, built a "castle" for his daughter, Mary, on a hill, and named it "Maryhill." He designated the beautiful building, originally designed as a family home, as an art museum before the end of its construction.
