Lake Creek Campground - Entiat River

## Overview

Silver Falls Group Campground sits in forested, mountain terrain on the banks
of the Entiat River in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest in 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 hike
taking you up, around and down the falls. Panoramic views of the surrounding
mountains await you on the 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 hike taking you up,
around and down the falls. The elevation gain is approximately 600 feet.

## Natural Features

The Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest offers stunning scenic vistas, with
high, glaciated alpine peaks, valleys of old growth forest and rugged shrub-
steppe country making 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 and golden eagles and a variety of woodpeckers and owls.
Precipitation varies greatly throughout the area, ranging from approximately
140 inches along the Cascade Crest to only 10 inches along the eastern edge.
Visitors can expect many days of warm, sunny weather in the summer, and
winters with clear skies and plenty of snow.

## 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 river rock can be very slick.  
  
Ardenvoir is the closest town within 20 miles. Entiat is 29.5 miles away.

## 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.

Nineteen Mile Campground

## Overview

The Steliko Lookout sits at an elevation of 2,586 feet in the Okanogan-
Wenatchee National Forest. Built in 1947, the lookout was used by Forest
Service personnel until the 1990’s. The peak is still used by staff during
emergencies to get a view of the surrounding area.

The lookout is accessible by SUV or four-wheel drive truck from mid-April to
mid-November. The road is narrow and steep at the beginning, please use all-
wheel drive or four-wheel drive to limit road damage.

Mid-November – mid-April the lookout is only accessible by walking, skiing,
snowshoeing, or snowmobiling the 1.75 miles up the road, depending on snow
level it can be hazardous to travel to the lookout.

The route to the lookout follows FS Road 5310 and is 1.75 miles long with 945
feet of elevation gain. The starting elevation is about 1300' and the ending
elevation is about 2600'. The road averages 8-12' wide and becomes more narrow
as snow accumulates. There is an average grade of 10% with a maximum grade of
25%. In Winter, up to 4+ feet of snow can accumulate on the road and
surrounding area depending on the year.

Recent upgrades to the building will make your stay comfortable, but are still
primitive, guests should be prepared with their own supplies.
