About

Fort Simcoe is a 201-acre state park in Washington, managed by the state park agency and set about 5 miles from the town of White Swan. For comfortable weather, aim for late spring or early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Wapato run to highs around 74°F in May and 80°F in September, while July and August typically climb near 90°F and winter brings freezing nights and a few snowy days. That station sits at 841 feet, so if the park lies higher, expect it to run somewhat cooler. Paddlers can find several creeks within about 8 miles. Simcoe Creek and Toppenish Creek are each just under 6 miles away, and North Fork Toppenish Creek is about 8 miles out.
