It truly has everything and is completely beautiful. There is tons of parking and it usually isn't too busy. They have yurts, tent camping, and drive in camping. All gorgeous spots. There are 3-4 amazing river access spots. The river has deep spots, shallow, fast, and slow, making it perfect for any speed of swimmer to hang out. There are usually people in floaties and on paddle boards enjoying the area. The view from the suspension bridge that connects the two sections of the park is stunning. It reminds me how much beauty Washington has and gets me choked up just thinking about it. There are endless cool trails to explore, all leading to fun little adventures and scenic views. This is the perfect park to just spend a day getting lost in nature, swimming, having a picnic, or having a leisurely campout.

You can also fish and have a good time with your kids in this small beach. When you cross the bridge be mindful for other people coming the other way or behind you. There is a sign that you must have some feet in between groups. You'll get to the trail which is at your right. Watch out for bears with cubs. It is a nice trail with pepples at the beginning.

Plan accordingly. http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/ Outdoor adventures keeps the guided groups small (maximum 12 people). I appreciate the small groups since this was my first time kayaking. Three types of kayaks are available: single, double or triple occupancy. Discover is an accepted form of payment. A Discover Pass is required to park at Spencer Spit. If you do not have a pass, a $10 day pass can be purchased with cash or check. There were several rangers checking passes on our visit so be sure to have a pass visibly displayed to avoid being ticketed. WHAT TO BRING - Signed Release of Liability - Bathing suit or non-cotton under layers preferred - A synthetic shirt (capilene, polypro, Under Armor, etc) - Shorts or pants made of a synthetic material (may get wet/damp) - Lightweight fleece jacket or windbreaker/rain jacket to provide warmth - Water shoes or sandals that strap on (or shoes that can get wet) - Sun hat and/or sunglasses - Sunscreen and chapstick - Water bottle - Optional; Camera, Plastic bag for wet items and change of clothing - If you have a gift certificate or prepaid voucher (such as Groupon) please bring a printed copy with you! Dorito Dan was our guide for the day. Dan was friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The first hour is dedicated to introductions, procedures and safety. Be sure to use the restroom before departing. Once on the water, there is no turning back. Kayaking is great for teamwork and communication. Both are required to avoid frustration. I recommend wearing weight-lifting/bicycle gloves in order to prevent blisters. Each person in our group started getting blisters towards the end of the tour. During our 3 mile kayaking trip, we spotted starfish, seals and majestic bald eagles. Thank you Outdoor Adventures for providing a magnificent day of play while surrounded by gorgeous Mother Nature. We all plan to return in the near future for another go-around.

I'd say that the number of stars depends on your experience:…read more If you come here in a super pack day, and you find no parking spot. Super crowded and hard to use your sled. Well, yeah it's gonna be a 2 star review. However if you get here early, remember to bring your own snacks, sleds, when you find lots of parking spots and not so busy... yeah, it will be a 5 star review. In general I'd say that IRON HORSE SLED HILL is good enough for YOUNG children, or people with little experience with snow that want to have fun in a short hill and your sled/tube. It's well groomed, but enter here under your own risk. In a busy day I've seen several accidents (kids bumping into each other) Besides the sled hill, there's also the TH for a good hike, snow shoeing, cross country skiing for FREE. Keep in mind dogs are not allowed, and you need to pay for your parking lot ($25 as of 2024) you can buy the parking permite right there or in advance online. There are restrooms open to public and that's it. No food vendors, so bring your own snack, meal.

The ski terrain here is actually quite good given the size and proximity to Seattle. There are 4…read morelifts (+ magic carpet) - 1 serves exclusively greens, 1 serves mostly blues with some green, 1 serves blue/black and 1 exclusively blacks. So technically there is something for everyone, but not a lot of variety particularly for beginners. The views from the top of the resort (the expert terrain chair) are awesome - really impressed and could sit up there for hours if there was a place to rest but luckily you can enjoy most of the way up on the 2 person lift. As a heads up, if you have the IKON pass you need to make reservations on the IKON website in advance to ski. For weekends, this can mean at least a few days if not a week in advance (although spots can open up the day before). Also, while there is a shuttle between Alpental and the Summit you cannot ski between the two even though they share the same lift ticket. We signed up for the Alpental Mighties ski lessons which have been a mixed bag. Some of the instructors seem good, but some of the group sizes, particularly for blue-level skiers are out of control. For my 7 year old, she is in a group with 12 kids! Each week there is a new kid that has been dumped in the group that can't keep up which means the instructor spends 80% of her time with the one kid. I don't think that she can tell me anything about my kid (and that's after 4 weeks now). For my other kid, the learn to snowboard group is much more manageable although it is a different instructor every week. While I would have been more understanding given COVID, the organizer is completely unapologetic (and unresponsive) about the circumstances and claimed that lessons continued when the power went out for most of the afternoon (which was downright false since my kids were waiting to be picked up with the rest of their group when I made it down the mountain). Given COVID, there are limited services (food / indoor dining) so have not tried those and usually bring our own lunch and each by the car. Some of the more prepared come ready for a full tailgating experience which I admire.

I was a little worried about safety in the beginning, but once we were on the water, it was clear that it was about the best place for them to do this considering there was no one else on the lake . I thought one and a half hours would be sufficient, but the boys could've gone even more than the four hours. Tour Guide's directed us to calmer part of the lake, which was nicer to be and than the choppierWindy sections. They had so much fun and I was able to bow out earlier and hang out on the pontoon boat with the operators and their dog which was fun in and of itself. Definitely created a core memory! Super accommodating, flexible, easy to work with, and genuinely interested in our happiness quotient. Will definitely come back again if we're in the area and may even want to come back in the winter for snowmobiling.

My coworkers have been raving about this campground for years and I was never able to snag a…read morereservation. Even when we went camping at Lake Easton State Park nearby, we tried to come visit the common area at the beach but every time we tried, this place was full and we could not even enter the campground. Lake Kachess has always been an unobtainable dream for us for years, partly because of my lack of planning as online reservation system is available for this site, although I am telling my kids that it is only because this place is so popular that we had not been able to check it out. So, for the past two years, we had been coming to Lake Kachess, getting rejected at the front gate, and still parking near the beach about 0.5 miles before reaching the front gate. We would go stand up paddle-boarding for a couple of hours and we would go to Lake Easton State Park to go to the bathroom and finish our day there. We loved paddle boarding in Lake Kachess so much that I promised my kids we will camp here someday. In this past summer in 2022, I was finally able to snag a reservation for 2 nights. Our camping spot was close to the non-motorized boat launch area. The campsite was spacious, clean, and well-maintained. It was also close to the vault toilets. We have traditionally and intentionally been camping at state parks for their toilet and shower facilities. However, we were aware that Lake Kachess campground was not part of the state park system and does not have nice toilets and showers. So, our expectation of the toilet facilities was expectedly low. Our challenge, however, was dealing with the waste management truck sucking or removing the waste from the vault toilets every morning around 0700. It was very loud and the resulting aroma seemed to have filled the entire Washington state. It was pretty awful but when my kids and I talked about it, we accepted it as part of this camping experience and being in the wilderness. We came here mostly for stand up paddle boarding so with every chance we got, we headed to the beach. We used the non-motorized boat launch area and it was wonderful. In the morning when there are no boats around in the lake, the water was crystal clear and we could see a lot of fish. It was absolutely beautiful. The green trees everywhere contrast really well with the blue sky and everything was serene and breathtaking. The water was cold but we still went into the water to escape the summer heat. It was refreshing and we felt like we became part of the beautiful scenery. Absolutely loved paddle boarding here.

Nice to have more runs for the green level so that I can totally warm up, but I like the blue runs for what they are. Appreciate that there is one freestyle run here, but would not mind if there was more. Staff is helpful and actually addresses concerns, but tend to be caught up in conversation with each other, so u feel a bit pushed to the side. Have to be able to speak up for yourself early on so that you are not just on standby. Parking is fine...just watch for the slush.

We ended up waiting outside for 20 min in the cold, which kinda sucked. Once they were ready for us, each boat had it's own changing room, and they had towels and phone holders for us. It was great! They really thought of everything. The boat itself is great. It was a little smoky at times when it was windy and the water got a little hot a few times, but it was fun to jump in the lake or sit up on the edge of the boat. We went at night and the skyline was gorgeous. It was so dark that we didn't really realize how far from the dock we got, so they did end up coming out to tow us back so we wouldn't be late getting back. This was really nice of them! The provided speaker was also awesome. There were so many great amenities. We had a blast!
