About Sun Lakes-Dry Falls State Park

This Washington state park sits at the foot of Dry Falls in the Grand Coulee area of the Columbia Basin. Its landscape of deep gorges, lakes, and tabletop cliffs formed through Ice Age floods. Visitors can paddle, boat, or fish on the lakes, walk or run a network of trails, play nine-hole golf or mini golf, and stay at a large campground. A visitor center nearby explains the flood history, though that building is closed for renovations through 2026.
