Crystal Falls

Crystal Falls is a 162-acre state park in northeastern Washington, about 11 miles from the town of Colville. It is managed by the state park agency. Late spring through early fall is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from the weather station at Colville run from highs in the low 70s °F in May to the high 80s in July and August, with few wet days in midsummer. Winters are cold and snowy there, with January highs near freezing. The station sits about 13 miles away, and its elevation isn't matched to the park's, so treat these as a general guide. The Little Pend Oreille River, a canoeing route, lies about 1.5 miles away. Hikers can try the McDowell Marsh Environmental Education Trail or Big Pine Trail, both within about 3.5 miles. For an overnight stay, Little Twin campground is about 4.4 miles from the park.
