Natural Features

Many of the sites overlook the Entiat River as it cascades down the valley to meet the Columbia. The open forest provides plenty of sunshine and a diverse habitat that supports deer, bears, coyotes, bald eagles, and numerous other animals. The Entiat River is fertile ground for salmon and steelhead which still use this waterway for spawning grounds.

Nearby Attractions

There are multiple trailheads just up the road. The first one you encounter is the Lake Creek Trailhead which is a favorite among mountain bikers and motorcycle riders. Silver Falls National Scenic Trail is the next trailhead you come to and provides a family friendly one and a half mile loop hike to a spectacular waterfall. If you are heading back down river the Entiat National Fish Hatchery is at mile six on Entiat River Road and welcomes visitors in the summer. If your looking for some fun in town the tourist destinations of Chelan and Leavenworth are a relatively short drive away.
