About Lake Wenatchee State Park

Lake Wenatchee State Park sits on the shore of a long glacier-fed lake in the Cascade Mountains, close to the Bavarian-themed town of Leavenworth. Visitors can swim, paddle, fish, hike and camp in two areas, the north and south parks, which are separated by the Wenatchee River. In winter the lake area becomes a Sno-Park with groomed ski and snowshoe trails, a sled hill and heated facilities. Because the park is in bear country, food and coolers must be stored away.
