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.
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.
