One of the loveliest parks along any waterway anywhere. Here it is May 2021 and the lupines and lilacs are in bloom. Restrooms are clean. Water is clean and clear. Campsites available. Picnic areas. Gorgeous, safe boat launch. Plenty of parking. All this and the scenic stretch of water bordered by green fields of vineyards on one side and the rugged granite cliffs on the other. An absolute must stop if you're on this route. Incredible!
Used to come here every summer for 15 yrs, before they remodeled, it needed some upgrading but I feel like the sites are so close together and lack of shade is what has kept us from coming back to stay here anymore. We stopped by on the way to Chelan and the colors were beautiful and the eagle that decided to bless us with their appearance was amazing. One thing that hasn't changed at all is the goose poo, not sure if there is anything that can be done about it honestly but it is definitely there and in fairness it was beyond abundance in Chelan as well, and with less people around this time of year it is probably worse then when more folks are by the water.
So much fun! We went mainly to see the Entiat Museum, which was awesome. The staff was friendly and hands-on with our 11 yr old who had a lot of questions. You could tell they grew up here and cared about the community.
The grounds are beautiful, and I'm fascinated by the browned lines in the grass created by the power lines 😅
This park was a pleasant surprise. Even though the weather was cool and drizzly, we walked for quite a while along the riverfront path, reading the signs about the history of the town. The restrooms were very clean. Campsites look very nice.
