Lake Wenatchee is a Northwest icon with a clear blue lake surrounded by mountains and open year-round. As the park is in bear country, coolers must be stowed away. Each winter season, from Dec. Discover Passes are not valid during this time. Sno-Park permits can be purchased online or at the park office. No unattended overnight vehicle parking. Park gates close at dusk and do not reopen until after post opening hours. Day-use visitors are not allowed inside the park after open hours.
See the lake view from our live camera located on the swim beach. See snow accumulation in the winter season with our seasonal webcam. The park is a natural wildlife area so visitors should be aware of the presence of bears and other natural dangers. 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.
Sites in the South Campground and in the North Campground are not reservable. Water and electric RV sites are available in the North Campground o nly, however, only six first-come, first-served sites have hookups.
