WA State Parks Eastern
About
WA State Parks Eastern is a 1-acre state park in Washington, sitting about 0.1 mile from East Wenatchee. It is managed by the state park agency, State Park and Recreation, and its small footprint makes it a compact stop rather than a destination for a full day. For comfortable weather, aim for late spring or early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Wenatchee show May highs around 73°F and September highs near 79°F, while July and August average highs in the upper 80s. Several trails lie within a few miles, including the Saddle Rock Main Trail at about 2.4 miles and the Dry Gulch Main Trail at about 2.5 miles. Climbers can head to the East Wenatchee climbing area, roughly 3.6 miles away, and Squilchuck State Park Campground is about 8.7 miles off for an overnight stay.
