Lake Wenatchee Guided Snowshoe Hike

Step into a true winter wonderland and explore Lake Wenatchee State Park like you’ve never seen it before. Meet our park ranger team at the North Park Entrance and set out on a guided 1.3‑mile snowshoe trek along the sparkling Wenatchee River, the quiet winter shores of Lake Wenatchee, and through the snow‑draped forest.

Your ranger guide will share stories of the park’s history, point out winter wildlife signs, and help you discover hidden corners of the park that summer visitors rarely get to experience. Along the way, enjoy sweeping views of Nason Ridge, Dirty Face, and North Beach, perfect for photos or simply soaking in the stillness of winter.
