Visitors may catch glimpses of mule deer, elk, bald and golden eagles and a variety of woodpeckers and owls. Visitors can expect many days of warm, sunny weather in the summer, and winters with clear skies and plenty of snow.

Recreation

Three Creek Campground is a great base camp for a variety of outdoor recreational activities. Anglers enjoy casting a line into the Entiat River near the campground on the stretch of the river above Entiat Falls. Carving through a wide, U-shaped valley, the river is dominated by relatively shallow riffles interspersed with pools, plunge pools and glides where the trout fishing is quite good. Populations of rainbow, cutthroat and eastern brook trout are found in this tributary. Selective gear rules apply to fishing in the Entiat River. See Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife for fishing rules and regulations. Hiking and motorized trails are nearby that can take you into high meadows or along the river into the Glacier Peak wilderness. 

Nearby Attractions

Silver Falls National Scenic Trail provides a one and a half mile loop hike to a large waterfall. Hundreds of miles of multiple use trails are accessible from nearby trailheads. Entiat National Fish Hatchery is at mile six on the Entiat River Road and welcomes visitors in the summer. The tourist destinations of Chelan and Leavenworth are a relatively short drive away.
