Hey Southern California Edison! How many parks in Southern California do you maintain?…read more The Chelan PUD has built 15 parks covering 700 acres around the Chelan County Waterways. The parks were developed under recreation plans required by the federal government as part of the PUD's licenses to operate the Rocky Reach, Rock Island, and Lake Chelan hydro projects. Walla Walla Point Park is one of the parks that the Chelan PUD built and maintains. I visited the park at the end of December 2022. There wasn't much to see in the park as everything was covered by about a foot of snow. There are supposed to be 4 softball/soccer fields here when it isn't covered in snow. There are supposed to be tennis and volleyball courts and a lot of green grass. The trail around the park along the river was nice. The trails were all paved. The snow was removed from the trail by the PUD. If you walk far enough, you can get to the Lindston Barn. The parking lot to the park was also cleared of snow. They have a electric car charging station that was free of charge to the public. It is a nice park whether it is summer or winter. The answer to the question above? ZERO! Come visit this park and see what hydro power can do for you.

BUT HUGE INCONVENIENCE WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD NOISE: First, the Orchard company nearby (just above the campground) makes noise all day and night!! Then you have the traffic noise of the Highway 2.

To top it off, it was mowing day, so we had the noise of the tractor mowing grass around where we were the whole day (9:00-4:00pm)!

I had bookmarked a state park in Wenatchee, but as we were driving into town I noticed this park alongside the mighty Columbia so we drove in to check it out. This is a very large park with immense, shaded grassy areas, a boat launch, and a large, roped-off swimming area. We were there on a hot Saturday afternoon and the park was not at all crowded - there were a few families enjoying the river, but it almost seemed like we had stumbled upon a secret place that not many people know about. There's no fee to use the park, parking is free, and there's a nice bathroom area to change in. I was impressed at how clean the entire place was, it is obviously very well maintained. It was hard to leave and get back on the road for the long drive ahead!

Safety signs are posted along the parks trail, especially for bikers regarding speed and notifying pedestrians when one is nearby by or coming up from behind. Most adhered to the rules but a few riders went wizzing by me and frankly scared the $@&# out of me. Nevertheless, it's a beautiful park and worthy of a stop when in the area. Its path runs very near the Pybus Public Market, so eats and drinks are near by. Big plus for me.

This is one of the few parks in downtown Wenatchee and is right by the water. I enjoyed the trail…read morealong the waterfront, and there were a few people riding their bike and walking outside during the evening when I was on it. It's a short trail, so not much of a walk (about a mile). But really what you come here for is the view of the Columbia River, which is beautiful. Some amenities include a restroom, water fountain, some picnic benches and tables, and there was a boat moorage and a two-lane boat launch. During my visit there wasn't anyone in the water, and when I walked on the boat moorage, there were a few people laying out on it. If you're staying in downtown Wenatchee - it's conveniently located to all businesses, including the Pybus Market. I also liked that it was close to the walking bridge where my hotel was by, to get a view over the railway of Wenatchee. Overall, visit for a brief stroll along the Columbia.

And this dam overlook is no exception. With sweeping views up and down the Columbia River, a trail, interpretive signage, a display of ancient hieroglyphs and even a ginormous dam turbine there is literally something for every dam visitor. With plenty of dam parking, a large dam restroom facility and several lovely places for a dam picnic the Wells overlook is more than just an interesting dam stop - it doubles as a rest area and a place to stretch the ol' legs while driving through the Okanagan.

This review is for the recreation area just off SR 20 as I desperately needed a place to use the bathroom after a very long drive. The Wells Dam serves a source of hydroelectric energy and can pass a flood of over 8,800,000 gallons of water per second! It is also an important project that ensures the safe passage of migrating Salmon and Steelhead through the dams and has a fish ladder that allows them to get to the other side. It also allows scientists to catch some for studying (and maybe eating as well). The Wells Dam project also dedicates its time to hatching/breeding a variety of fish such as land-locked Chinook, White Sturgeon, Trout and Kokanee. It was deserted when we got there on a weekday around noon and there was a nice parking lot, a clean bathroom (hooray!), donated doggie bags for scooping your dog's poop, an impressive view of the dam and the surroundings and lots of signage. A lot of money and thought went into this rest stop for tourists and/or locals frequenting the area. It would be a nice place for a picnic under their pavilions for a quick lunch, a bathroom break in clean non-porta potty toilet, a photo op and a bit of history to help fill your afternoon with memories.
