The park is nestled within the Wenatchee National Forest. It's on the eastern side of the amazing Cascade Mountains. The park covers about 492 acres, which is like 370 football fields! It's split into two parts by the Wenatchee River: the north shore park and the south shore park. The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission takes care of this wonderful place.
