One of the best parts about visiting North Central Washington is getting the chance to get outdoors and enjoy the forests, lakes, creeks, waterfalls, mountains, and desert-like areas that are all found there. One of the best ways to do that, and one of the easiest too, is to check out the fabulous selection of state parks that are found there. Here is a quick look at just three of the best.
Sun Lakes State Park
Sun Lakes, sometimes referred to as Sun Lakes-Dry Falls is located in an amazingly unique and beautiful part of North Central Washington. It is situated just south of Banks Lake and very near to a very interesting sight known as Dry Falls. There are cabins available to rent adjacent to the park that are a great option for those not wanting or unable to camp at the campsites found there. There is also a golf course located right there at the park. Hiking is available throughout the area and it provides a completely different experience that most hikers have never experienced before.
Lake Chelan State Park
Located on the south shore of Lake Chelan is Lake Chelan State Park. This is a small park that is wedged between the mountains and the famous lake, but it is more than equipped to handle the needs of vacationers looking for a fun camping destination. The park features open meadows, nearby hiking trails, climbing toys, snack bar, boat launch, swimming area, and a nice rocky beach area. The park features campsite that are great for both tent camping and RV camping. The views of Lake Chelan are incredible and the lake is one of the big reasons people head there each and every summer.
Lake Wenatchee State Park
Lake Wenatchee State Park is one of the true gems of the state parks in all of Washington State. It is located just north of Highway 2, one of the main east-west corridors across the Cascade Mountains and is right on the shore of Lake Wenatchee. In fact, the boat launch that allows access to the lake is actually right on the headwaters of the Wenatchee River which flows out from the lake right near the park itself. A number of activities can be participated in at or near Lake Wenatchee State Park including cross country skiing, hiking, camping, swimming, boating, kayaking, river rafting, and horseback riding. Lake Wenatchee is a great place for people of all ages to visit.
