habitat that supports deer, bears, coyotes, bald eagles, and numerous other
animals. The Entiat River is fertile ground for salmon and steelhead which
still use this waterway for spawning grounds.

## Nearby Attractions

There are multiple trailheads just up the road. The first one you encounter is
the Lake Creek Trailhead which is a favorite among mountain bikers and
motorcycle riders. Silver Falls National Scenic Trail is the next trailhead
you come to and provides a family friendly one and a half mile loop hike to a
spectacular waterfall. If you are heading back down river the Entiat National
Fish Hatchery is at mile six on Entiat River Road and welcomes visitors in the
summer. If your looking for some fun in town the tourist destinations of
Chelan and Leavenworth are a relatively short drive away.

Lake Creek Campground - Entiat River

## Overview

Silver Falls Group site sits in a forested, mountain terrain on the banks of
the Entiat River within the Silver Falls Campground. This is one of the more
popular sites on the Entiat Ranger District. The cascading water of Silver
Falls is a draw for many visitors to this particular area, which is especially
refreshing in the summer heat. The Silver Falls National Recreation Trail is
an exceptional family friendly hike that takes you up, around and down the
falls. Panoramic views of the surrounding mountains await you on your hike.

## Recreation

Silver Falls Campground is a great base camp for a variety of outdoor
recreational activities. Anglers enjoy casting a line into the Entiat River
above Entiat Falls, about 2.5 miles up-river from the campground. 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.

Silver Falls National Recreation Trail offers a 1.8 mile hike next to one of
the most beautiful waterfalls in the region. The trail winds along Silver
Creek to the base of the falls, through towering canopies of cedar and pine.
The handcrafted stone staircase and bridges along this trail offer stopping
points and panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. The Silver Falls
Trail is an exceptional family friendly hike that takes you up, around and
down the falls. The elevation gain is approximately 600 feet.

## Facilities

Silver Falls Campground offers one group site with a historic C.C.C. covered
cooking area, that is reservation only, and 31 first-come, first-served single
sites. Each site contains a picnic table and campfire ring. Multiple vault
toilets, garbage service, and a solar pump at the guard station with potable
water are provided during the main summer season. If the trash cans are full,
please pack out any extra trash produced greater than what the cans can
accommodate.

## Natural Features

The Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest offers stunning scenic vistas, high
elevation alpine peaks, valleys of old growth forest and rugged shrub-steppe
country that makes up the diverse landscape. Elevations range from below 1,000
feet to more than 9,000 feet. The surrounding forest provides excellent
habitat for a wide range of wildlife. Visitors may catch glimpses of mule
deer, elk, bald 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.

## Contact Info

For facility specific information, please call (509) 784-4700.

## Nearby Attractions

At Entiat River Road mile marker 27.8 is Box Canyon. This geological formation
is about 65 million years in the making and the chasm spans a run of about 500
feet and ranges from 75-150 ft. deep. Fish Tail Falls can be observed from the
view point running over, under and through a pile of large boulders, cascading
another 15 feet. At times you can see salmon in this pool. Approximately 3
miles north on Entiat River Road from Silver Falls is Entiat Falls. This broad
25 foot cascading natural waterfall makes quite a rejuvenating impression.
Bring a picnic lunch or just stretch your legs and enjoy. Take precaution as
the river rock can be very slick. Ardenvoir is the closest town within 20
miles. Entiat is 29.5 miles away.

Halfway Springs

## Overview

The Tyee Lookout sits at an elevation of 6,654 feet in the Okanogan-Wenatchee
National Forest. Built in the 1950’s, the lookout was used by Forest Service
personnel until the 1990’s. A stay at Tyee is not for the faint of heart, this
is a rough place. Starting with the access road, the lookout is accessible by
four-wheel drive truck from mid-June to mid-October. The last 3.6 miles of the
road are narrow, steep, sandy and very rocky; including two rock ledges, good
tires are a must. Once at the lookout the ground is also rocky and uneven,
just walking around can present challenges to those not fleet on their feet.
Two sides of the lookout drop off very steep to the valley below, a fall would
be bad, keep kids away from the edge and do not let them play on railing.
Sitting at the top of the mountain, the wind blows frequently, and can be much
cooler than the valleys. The lookout is an old structure, although remodeled
dirt and dust still blow in. As an alternative to driving, the lookout is
accessible by walking the last 4 miles up the road. Recent upgrades to the
building will make your stay comfortable, but are still primitive, guests
should be prepared with their own supplies.

## Recreation

Nearby roads, the Tyee Ridge trail and Billy Ridge trail offer opportunities
for hiking, mountain biking, and dirt biking. Although you may still see the
light of a faraway house from the top, the star gazing is still very good.

## Facilities

The 16x16 cabin sleeps four and is equipped with four single foam mattresses,
two on regular frames and two on trundle style frames. A bench, broom and dust
pan are provided. A portable toilet is located 30 yards from the lookout
behind a privacy screen. This is for poop not pee, please be prepared to pee
away from the lookout behind a tree. The lookout has LED strip lights that
provide a lot of light. Guests must bring their own water for drinking,
cooking and washing. As well as cookware, dishes, bedding, flashlight, first
aid supplies, trash bags and maybe a game or two.

## Natural Features

Views from the lookout include Stormy Mountain, numerous peaks in the Alpine
Lakes Wilderness and east to the Waterville Plateau. The rocky outcrop is home
to whitebark pine, a species on decline, please respect and admire this tree.

## Contact Info

For facility specific information, please call (509) 860-4267.

## Overview

Cottonwood Cabin is located in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, Entiat
Ranger District in central Washington's Entiat Valley, on the banks of the
Entiat River at an elevation of 3,100 feet. Constructed in the 1940s as
administrative housing, the facility and on-site barn and corral were used
seasonally by Forest Service fire, trail and campground crew personnel.  
  
Today the cabin offers visitors a wonderful setting for recreation and
relaxation from June through October in the forested mountain terrain of the
Entiat Ranger District. The cabin can be reached by standard passenger
vehicles over gravel roads.

## Recreation

Guests at Cottonwood Cabin will find that the surrounding area offers
opportunities to hike, fish, mountain bike and enjoy a long list of outdoor
recreational activities throughout the year.  
  
Anglers will enjoy casting a line into the Entiat River above Entiat Falls.
The cabin is located four miles above the 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 trout, Cutthroat trout, 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.

## Facilities

The one room cabin (20' x 16') can accommodate four people at a time.
Amenities include hot and cold running water (summer months only), propane
cook stove, wall heater, and indoor lights. Furnishings include a dining
table, chairs, futon sofa that converts to a double bed, and a separate double
bed. The small kitchen area is supplied with basic pots, pans, silverware and
plates. Outdoors, a private shower facility with hot and cold water, picnic
table, campfire ring, and vault toilet are provided. An area for pitching one
tent is also on site. Wood may be available, but the supply cannot be
guaranteed. Guests must bring several of their own amenities as the cabin does
not provide a refrigerator for food, sleeping bags/bedding, towels, dish soap,
matches, a first aid kit, or garbage bags. The light system is solar powered.
Although lighting is provided, visitors are encouraged to bring additional
light sources. Cabin water is provided by pressurized solar water for summer
months.

habitat for a wide range of wildlife. Visitors can expect many days of warm,
sunny weather in the summer, and winters with clear skies and plenty of snow.
Nestled in a mature lodge pole pine and spruce forest, the area surrounding
the cabin is home to abundant wildlife, including mule deer, cougars, native
fish, black bears, pine marten, moose, bald and golden eagles and a variety of
woodpeckers and owls.

## Nearby Attractions

The Silver Falls National Recreation Trail is a 1.8 mile hike beneath towering
cedar and pines, along Silver Creek to the base of Silver Falls. Along the
way, hikers are treated to views of the 141-foot cascade, as well as the
Entiat valley below, and the mountains above. Beautiful stone staircases and
bridges along the trail offer many stopping points to take the perfect
photograph.  
  
At Entiat River Road mile marker 27.8 is Box Canyon. This geological formation
is about 65 million years in the making and the chasm spans a run of about 500
feet and ranges from 75-150 ft. deep. Fish Tail Falls can be observed from the
