With a month of the summer
season left, there's still plenty of time to get one more camping trip in and check out the hidden gems of Washington. Alta Lake state park is a
181-acre camping park with 123 campsites where the mountainous pine forests
meet the desert. The lake offers good
trout fishing, waterskiing and even windsurfing.
Although the surrounding park area was damaged by wildfires in the past few years, new
growth is coming in, displaying a beautiful contrast in nature.
The park is just 30 minutes from Lake
Chelan, north central Washington. There are still plenty of campsites available through September 15. For more information about Alta Lake or to book a reservation, visit our website.
