Lake Wenatchee State Park is a waterfront park on the 5-mile-long, glacier-fed Lake Wenatchee and Wenatchee River located near the Bavarian-themed town of Leavenworth. The park is a natural wildlife area so visitors should be aware of the presence of bears and other natural dangers.

Winter recreation

During winter, enjoy groomed cross-country and skate ski trails, a groomed sled hill and marked snowshoe trails. Winter camping with heated restrooms and showers is also available. Watch a YouTube video about winter sports in the park. 

To view the current grooming report and additional Sno-Park information, visit the Lake Wenatchee Sno-Park page

Camping

Sites 89-100 in the South Campground and 101-112 in the North Campground are not reservable. These sites are 1st-come 1st-served until October 1. Water and electric RV sites are available in the North Campground only, however only six 1st-come 1st-served sites have hookups. Due to narrow roadways, RV and trailer combinations over 20' are not allowed in the South Campground area. Water and restrooms are available within the campgrounds. 

During the Fall campground closures are weather dependent. Campgrounds may remain open and reservable into late October. Once the snow arrives campgrounds will close. 

Please come prepared with cash or check. Park Booths are only open weekends in the Fall. Self-serve registration is available.
