First Day Hike at Lake Wenatchee State Park

About the Event

This hike will be led by a Park Ranger, who will guide participants along the Wenatchee River, up to our North Beach for views across Lake Wenatchee, and then through our Pine and Douglas Fir forest, finally ending back at the North Reservation Booth for hot cocoa and light snacks!

Along the way, our hike leaders will point out various historical aspects of our park, highlight notable stories and discuss some fun facts! One particular stop at our North Beach is a favorite, where participants tend to take a snack break, and we gather together for a fun group photo opportunity.

A Sno-Park permit is required. A daily Sno-Park Permit ($25) or Seasonal Sno-Park Permit ($50) can be purchased through our Sno-Park Permits webpage.
