## Overview

Kachess Campground sits just off the forested northwest shore of Kachess Lake
in Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest.  
  
Set in dense old-growth conifer forest and surrounded by high mountains,
Kachess Campground is considered one of the most beautiful sites in the Cle
Elum Ranger District.

## Recreation

Kachess is a prime location for fishing, swimming, boating, paddling and
mountain biking in summer and early fall.

The campground is also a great base camp for day-hikers and overnight
backpackers. Several access trails from the area give hikers the chance to
create their own excursions, whether it be a day hike or an overnight trip.  
  
Starting at the campground, the Kachess Lake Trail is a short loop next to the
lake, enjoyable for hikers of all levels.  
  
Anglers enjoy fishing for rainbow trout, cutthroat trout and kokanee salmon
from boat or shoreline. Box Canyon Creek is closed to all fishing from the
mouth, 2-miles up to the falls. Check current WDFW fishing regulations for
additional restrictions.

## Facilities

Kachess Lake Campground offers 150 sites that accommodate both tent and RV
camping, including one designated group site that can accommodate up to 50
guests. The group site and 106 single family sites are available for
reservation, and the rest are available on a first-come first-serve basis.
Sites are equipped with picnic tables, campfire rings with grills, vault
toilets. Drinking water is available. There are no electric hookups. One
motorized boat launch, one non-motorized boat launch, a swimming area and
picnic areas are also available to visitors.

## Natural Features

Towering peaks, high-country lakes and old-growth forests provide visitors
with a variety of landscapes. Kachess Lake, adjacent to the campground, is a
reservoir that stores and provides water for irrigation for south-central
Washington. The surrounding undeveloped wilderness, clean streams and diverse
forests support an abundance of wildlife, including deer, porcupine, native
fish and migratory birds.

## Nearby Attractions

The spectacular Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) can be accessed near the campground.
One of the world's premier National Scenic Trails, it showcases some of North
America's most fantastic scenery as it winds its way from Mexico to Canada
through California, Oregon and Washington.

Fish Lake Campground

## Overview

The Teanaway Guard Station is located in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National
Forest, north of Cle Elum, Washington. The cabin was originally constructed in
1950 by gold miner Archie Redding, who built the cabin near Mineral Springs,
Washington. In 1978, Archie passed away and his cabin came into Forest Service
possession. The cabin was then moved to its present location and used as a
fire guard station intermittently until becoming available for reservation in
2004. The guard station sits at 3,200 feet elevation in the Teanaway River
drainage with the icy North Fork Teanaway River just across the road. It is
available for rent early May through mid-November and mid-December through
early April. In warmer months, the cabin is accessible by car, but winter
access is by ski, snowshoe or snowmobile over a 2.2-mile groomed snowmobile
route. Several amenities are provided at the cabin, but guests should be
prepared to bring some of their own supplies and gear for a comfortable stay.

## Recreation

The nearby Ingalls Way Trail allows hikers to enjoy stunning views of Mt.
Stuart and the Enchantments. Fishing is possible in nearby streams. Up to 24
inches of snowfall in a 24 hour period is not uncommon in this area, making it
a winter wonderland for cross-country skiing, backcountry skiing and
snowboarding and snowshoeing.

## Facilities

The rustic 12x18-foot log cabin can sleep two people on a set of bunk beds
with mattresses. Other amenities include table and chairs, a Coleman propane
cook stove and a D battery operated lantern. The propane stove must be taken
outside for use. No stoves or open flames are allowed in the cabin.  
  
A wood stove heats the cabin; however, wood must be split. An axe, splitting
maul and wedge are available for guest use. A snow shovel is provided. A
picnic table, fire pit and vault toilet are located outdoors.  
  
There is no water or electricity available at the site. Guests must bring
water for drinking, cooking and washing. Water can be taken from the Teanaway
River, but must be treated before drinking.  
  
Fuel and D-batteries are not provided for the propane stove or battery
operated lantern. Guests must bring their own 16.4-ounce propane canisters and
four D batteries, as well as cooking utensils, cookware, backup lighting,
sleeping bags, towels, dish soap, matches, toilet paper and garbage bags. All
trash and food must be packed out, and guests are expected to clean the cabin
before leaving.

## Natural Features

The Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest is defined by its diverse landscapes,
boasting high, glaciated alpine peaks, lush valleys of old-growth forest and
rugged shrub-steppe country. More than 700 lakes and mountain ponds dot the
glacier-carved terrain of nearby Alpine Lake Wilderness. Tree-covered valleys
give way to rocky ridges and rugged peaks along the crest of the Cascades.
Many peaks and slopes are permanently cloaked in snowfields. From wet forests
of Douglas fir, cedar and mountain hemlock, the landscape opens up to
expansive meadows and dry forests of ponderosa pine and grasses. Seasonal
changes envelop the area as snowmelt gives rise to springtime wildflowers, and
autumn colors welcome a landscape blanketed with snow. The area surrounding
the cabin is home to abundant wildlife, including deer, squirrels, black
bears, mountain lions and migratory birds.

## Nearby Attractions

Mountain biking and hiking trails are located within 2 miles of the cabin.
