Recreationland Your Free Guide to North Central Washington and South Okanagan, BC

A supplement to the Okanogan Valley Gazette-Tribune Visit us online: www.gazette-tribune.com

WELCOME…

…stay awhile and see what we have to offer!

W

elcome to beautiful North Central Washington and lower British Columbia, one of the greatest “undiscovered” and unspoiled recreational areas in the Pacific Northwest. By traveling north from Wenatchee along the many scenic byways like the Okanogan Trails Byway on the International Discovery Loop, you will experience two countries, many cultures and unique history and heritage.

The area abounds with ghost towns, historical landmarks, abandoned (and active) mines, camping, fishing, hunting, boating, swimming, golfing, rock climbing, sightseeing, wildlife viewing, horseback riding— you name it!

Canada’s only desert region lies just north of the border, in southern British Columbia from Osoyoos to Kelowna. The area is not only Canada’s fruit basket, it also has a burgeoning wine industry. There are wine festivals and tastings and wineries in the Osoyoos and Oliver areas welcome visitors.

Back in the United States, north central Washington is staking out a wine industry as well, with established and new wineries from Chelan to Oroville.

Although fishing and hunting remain two of the biggest recreational pastimes in the area, watchable wildlife activities like birdwatching are increasing in popularity. This region offers a variety of flora and fauna for wildlife fans to explore.

Even though the area is semi-desert, the region offers several fine lakes for swimming, boating, jet skiing and fishing. Water recreation choices range from the international Lake Osoyoos to internationally famous Lake Chelan, from the mighty Columbia River to the undiscovered Similkameen.

If wide open spaces are the thing, the wide-open plateau is the spot; the drive between Bridgeport and Waterville, over the top as it were, is full of straight roads and big skies. Waterville is the Douglas County seat—check out the historic courthouse—and is full of houses and shops that show its late 19th Century, red brick roots. Good fishing spots are hidden here and there, old houses can be spotted from the road, and occasionally a hang glider will pass by, since the plateau is good for that sort of unusual recreation.

The Columbia, Methow and Okanogan rivers provide excellent fishing, as do the many local lakes. There’s good water for skiing or just a relaxing boat ride. With spring and the snowmelt, smaller local rivers provide plenty of good whitewater rafting, then calm down in the height of summer, making for fun tubing. How about taking a hike, or maybe a mountain bike ride, maybe even a horseback ride? Try one of the many fun and interesting trails in the Methow Valley— more than 400 miles for the choosing. Or try the Similkameen River Trail on the old Great Northern Railway bed and the Whistler Canyon Trails near Oroville. Summer days can hit 100 degrees or more, so one of the rivers, the swimming holes or local pools might be appealing.

Golfers have a plethora of choices, from the Oroville Golf Club to Lake Woods in Bridgeport, Alta Lake near Pateros to Omak and Okanogan and Chelan, as well as courses in Osoyoos and Oliver. Camping and RV facilities are available at numerous locations from Waterville to Oroville.

Again, welcome to north central Washington and lower British Columbia.

We hope you will stay a while and enjoy all the area has to offer. Just remember to bring your camera.

Gateway to Fun & Relaxation

OROVILLE

O

roville is four miles south of the Canadian border and the nearby 24-hour Port of Entry, the busiest in Eastern Washington.

The town lies north of the confluence of two rivers – the Similkameen and Okanogan, and is on the south end of Lake Osoyoos, an international lake shared by Oroville and Osoyoos, B.C. Originally noted for mining, cattle and timber, today Oroville is better known for its apples and cherries and as the birthplace of Washington’s apple industry. Oroville has five award-winning wineries and boasts a fine German-style microbrewery.

May Festival is the second Saturday in May and the Old Depot Museum and Visitor Center open that day as well.

Tourism and recreation take advantage of the area’s natural beauty with mountains, lakes and two rivers. Two very fine city parks are situated on Lake Osoyoos – Oroville’s Veteran’s Memorial Park is located at the north end of town. The park offers a boat-launch, as does Deep Bay Park about one and a half miles north of the city limits.

Osoyoos Lake offers swimming, boating, sailing, water and jet skiing and first-class fishing. Or you can just sit on the beach and relax. From the lake you can paddle your canoe or kayak south down the Okanogan River and stop by Oroville’s Riverfront Park.

Oroville Heritage Day and Airport Day, the Toast of Oroville Wine Festival and the Tumble Weed Film festival all take place in the summer.

There is golfing at the Oroville Golf Club, its nine-hole course is considered one of the most beautiful and challenging small courses in the state.

Hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding are available on the Similkameen River Trail on the old Great Northern Railroad route, which starts at the trailhead on the west side of town, passes a working vineyard, crosses a steel trestle bridge and continues along the historic railroad bed.

OKANOGAN HIGHLANDS

T

here are many small communities in the Okanogan Highlands that are enjoyed both for their recreational opportunities as well as their history and culture.

Fishing and camping number among the many recreation possibilities around the Aeneas Valley area.

There are several small lakes located along Aeneas Valley Road Round, Long and El lakes. Crawfish and Lyman lakes are not far away either.

The community of Wauconda, 24 miles east of Tonasket, is centered along Highway 20 like an oasis, inviting and colorful after the vast miles of ranches and rolling hills that surround it. There is a tiny U.S. Post Office, grocery store and café that harkens back to a simpler time.

It’s only a short drive to Lost, Beaver and Beth lakes, which offer some of the areas best fishing and camping opportunities.

Chesaw is an old gold mining town, was named for Chinese miner Joe Che Saw and is 21.5 miles east of Oroville. The town has a general store with gas pumps, tavern and art gallery.

Each year the family-oriented July 4th Rodeo is held. In August, the town invites people to participate in one of the many activities planned around the “Hot August Nights” celebration.

Molson was initially financed by John W. Molson of Canadian brewing and banking fame. The three-story brick schoolhouse is now the Molson School Museum. It houses artifacts and a souvenir shop. Many exhibits reflect the area’s mining and farming past and other facets of rural life. Today, the original townsite is a ghost town and is the Old Molson Outdoor Museum with a variety of early day town buildings and agricultural equipment.

T

onasket, named for Chief Tonasket of the Okanogan Tribe, is a vigorous town with people that like to work hard, as well as play hard.

Many of the community’s events reflect this relationship between labor and leisure.

Tonasket is intersected by state Highways 97 and 20.

Highway 97, an international roadway, links the town with Canada to the north, and California on the extreme south.

Highway 20 is an east/west route from the Pacific Coast via the North Cascades Highway, to Republic and Spokane.

LOOMIS

Center of the Many Lakes Recreation Area

L

ocated 16 miles northwest of Tonasket or 16 miles southwest of Oroville, the quaint little town of Loomis rests in the center of the “Many Lakes” area. While the town is small, the area draws folks from around the state and the province of British Columbia from the start of fishing season in the spring until the end of hunting season in late fall.

Throughout the summer, visitors come and enjoy a variety of camping sites along one of the many lakes or even in the coolness of the local mountains along a meandering stream. Loomis is the center of some of the best fishing and hunting in the state. The trout and bass are large and the mule deer abundant. Nearby lakes include Spectacle, Palmer and Whitestone. Other fishing opportunities abound in the Sinlahekin Wildlife Area in lakes and Toats Coulee Creek. Chopaka is a well-known fly-fishing-only mountain lake.

Although small, many amenities can be found within a few short blocks. Nearby wildlife is abundant with bighorn sheep and deer that can sometimes be seen strolling through town, black bear and mountain goats can also be spotted. In winter people are drawn to the area for the hundreds of miles of snowmobile trails in the mountains.

RIVERSIDE

Paddlewheelers a part of its past

P

erhaps one of the most important towns in Okanogan County’s early day history, Riverside is still a quaint and picturesque town, nestled between the Okanogan River and Highway 97.

Riverside was once a booming commercial center. As head of navigation for the Okanogan River, goods transported via steam paddlewheeler up the Columbia River and further up the Okanogan could not get past Riverside.

So Riverside became an important connection between then isolated Okanogan County and more populated areas of the region.

In celebration of the importance of Riverside’s past, the community holds RiverFest in the summer, which includes a street fair, music and community auction .

OMAK The busy hub of the Okanogan

O

mak has events planned for every season of the year.

In summer there’s the Stampede and World Famous Suicide Race which has been held since 1935. The event features four rodeo performances followed by the Suicide Race, where horse and rider plunge down a steep embankment and cross the Okanogan River for the push to the finish line. There is also a genuine Native American encampment complete with over 100 tepees, native dance competitions with dancers in full traditional dress.

The town is full of recreation options, many at the 72-acre East Side Park. The park includes three softball fields, the Stampede and Rodeo Arena, an Olympic size pool, two soccer fields, Babe Ruth and Little League diamonds, covered picnic area, archery range, horseshoe pits, lighted tennis courts and a basketball court. Add to this acres and acres of green lawn and a 72-site full hook-up RV park and tent area, and the possibilities for fun are many.

OKANOGAN Washington’s best kept secret

O

kanogan, incorporated in 1907, became the county seat of the largest county in area in Washington in 1914.

Highlights for the town include the annual county fair, Sunny Okanogan Days and Harvest Festival.

Being the county seat, Okanogan is also the home to the historic Okanogan County Courthouse. There is also the Okanogan County Museum, which features an extensive history of the county, as well as many ‘Frank Matsura’ photographs from the famous Japanese frontier photographer who made the Okanogan his home before the turn of the last century.

Outside the museum is a replica of an Old West town of the early 1900s and a replica of the town’s original firehouse. Outdoor displays include farm equipment and what is believed to be the Okanogan’s oldest structure, a log cabin built in 1879. The museum is located adjacent to the Legion Park, which can accommodate overnight RV parking (no hookup) for a small fee.

CONCONULLY

Where the past is always present

W

ith Conconully State Park right on the reservoir and restaurants, full-service resorts and a variety of RV facilities and the lake just minutes away, Conconully is a wonderful site for a family vacation any time of the year.

There are lakeside resorts, in-town lodging, several restaurants and a general store with gas pumps to serve visitors. Most resorts offer boat and/or canoe rentals. Some feature pools, showers, RV parking and campsites. Kids have a good time wading in the pond and playing on the swings, slides and big toys at the state park, which has excellent camping and picnic facilities.

Spring is when the high alpine meadows boast carpets of wildowers, accessible only to the hiker or horseback rider.

Spring is also when anglers start coming to town to test their skills on the rainbow trout in Conconully Lake.

In the summer you can swim, ďŹ sh, water ski, bicycle, horseback ride, take a nature hike, rock climb or just relax and enjoy the glorious scenery.

REPUBLIC/CURLEW

There’s lots to do in Ferry County

Y

ou can dig for fossils at the rich Stone Rose fossil beds with the family and go home with a piece of prehistoric history, fish or swim in one of the area’s many lakes and streams and horseback ride into the forest, hike the Kettle Crest Trail or one of the other 430 miles of trail in the area. The Republic area has 21 campgrounds around lakes and streams.

Something is happening almost every week; stock car races every other weekend in the summer, Prospector’s Day, rodeos, draft horse shows or Winterfest.

Located next door to the Stonerose Interpretive Center is the Republic Historical Center. Visitors can walk through the Kaufman Cabin, peruse the extensive collection of Republic’s historical photos and listen to firsthand accounts of times past from the volunteers who operate the small museum.

Between Republic and Curlew, alongside Highway 21 North, is the Antique Car and Truck Museum. The museum has numerous antique cars, including a 1925 Howard Cooper, one of only four ever built and a 1926 Yellow Knight, one of the last three known to exist. Built in 1903, the historic Ansorge Hotel in Curlew is a museum. The hotel retains many of its original furnishings and all of its charm.

Nestled in the forested hills of Ferry County is pristine Curlew Lake. Curlew Lake is a favorite destination for fishermen, sporting different varieties of trout. The park features 82 campsites, some of which have power, water and sewer hook-ups, a roped-off swimming beach, boat ramp, trailer dump, restroom and hot showers.

WATERVILLE

L

ocated at the base of Badger Mountain, Waterville sits at the highest elevation of all incorporated communities in Washington. At 2,600 feet above sea level, Waterville enjoys sweeping vista views of the distant mountain ranges, shrub-steppe and wheat fields.

Winding through town is U.S. Highway 2 and is lined with shopping and dining outlets.

The Douglas County Historical Museum is open from May through October and offers a glimpse into the lives of local pioneers and an extensive rock collection, including several meteorites found locally, making Waterville the “Meteorite Capital” of the state.

Waterville is also part of the “Ice Age Floods Geologic Trail,” a self-guided loop driving tour that includes Dry Falls Interpretive Center.

Pioneer Park has a tennis court, playground equipment and shade. The community swimming pool is open during the summer and the Badger Mountain Ski Area is open during winter. Nearby Desert Canyon offers 18 holes of golf.

Summer events include Waterville Days in July, which includes a horseshoe tournament and the North Central Washington Fair.

For more information visit www.watervillewashington.org.

MANSFIELD

M

ansfield is a wheat farmer’s dream location.

The long enduring history of Mansfield is recorded at the Mansfield Museum, open during “Play Days” and by appointment. It offers photographs and artifacts of the rich history of this little town.

Mansfield is a proud farming community of less than 350 people that began its historic path in the late 1800s when the Great Northern placed tracks from Wenatchee to rural areas holding “high potential.”

Rocketeers from around the country converge on Mansfield on Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends to conduct launches.

Hang glider pilots utilize the spiraling thermals and open spaces to enjoy the serene beauty of this farming community.

Jameson Lake is open from the first weekend of fishing season to July 4 and for the month of October for trout fishing. Grimes Lake, located just outside Mansfield is open June 1 to Aug. 1.

OSOYOOS/OLIVER

Playground in Canada’s only desert

O

soyoos and Oliver, B.C. are located just north of the U.S.-Canadian Border in Canada’s only desert region.

Osoyoos, who recently trademarked “Canada’s Warmest Welcome” as their logo, is just five miles north of Oroville. The friendly tourist town has the warmest average temperature in Canada and the warmest freshwater lake in the country. There are many public boat launches and the lake is accessible through any of four sandy public beaches.

In addition to swimming, boating jetskiing, fishing and tanning on the beach, there’s shopping downtown, fine restaurants, golf, tennis, water slides, hiking and horseback riding -- and that’s just in the summertime.

On the northeast side of the lake is Canada’s only desert area, featuring a variety of flora and fauna only found in this specific environment. Many rare species of birds, bats and cacti survive here. The Desert Interpretive Center is a must see for anyone traveling to Osoyoos.

Osoyoos is also part of Canada’s Desert Wine Country and there are many wineries with tasting rooms to enjoy. The Okanagan Spring Wine Festival helps celebrate the area’s wines and is held the first week of May. The Okanagan Fall Wine Festival is held the first week of October.

Oliver is 16 miles north of the U.S. Port of Entry at Oroville. It is “The Wine Capital of Canada” and has many wineries with tasting rooms. Oliver also has the Festival of the Grape in early May as a kick off to the Okanagan Spring Wine Festival.

In addition, Oliver hosts the Sprint Triatholon in June.

The early spring, hot summers and late-arriving fall, coupled with short, mild winters make Oliver a year ‘round playground. The village is a friendly place where families can come and find excellent camping, fine accommodations and a variety of shopping opportunities. Oliver also has many fine restaurants and a movie theater making it a popular destination for people from the U.S. For more information on Osoyoos and Oliver check out their combined chamber of commerce website at www.southokanaganchamber.ca
