We were visiting Colville from out of town and looking for somewhere to picnic with a playground…read more Very little description of the parks on the city's parks and rec page led us to checking out the first city park listed, Agnus McDonald. The park itself is 1 acre and was not what we imagined. It was mostly dirt with a little grass, about 4 trees; no bathrooms, no tables. If you're looking to play baseball or let your dog run around a bit, this park may be for you. Otherwise, skip the detour!

We were so pleased to happen upon this lovely little park adjacent to Hwy 395 (fence around the…read moreplay area for safety). It was easy to access with lots of free parking on gravel lots. The park has a playground, 2 tennis courts, 2 basketball hoops, seasonal public restrooms, benches, picnic tables, barbecue pits, pavilion, baseball field, and a stage against the backdrop of the jagged hills to the north. The Kettle Falls Information Center is also located across the street. It was a great place for our kids to spend an hour happily getting some wiggles out. We'll definitely plan to stop again if we're in the area!

There are meals on most weekends as well as old school movies most every Friday night. Sat night is usually games, karakoe or a dance. There is a pool and hot tub and miles of maintained trails on their 400 acres. It is a great value for the money. It is not a 300 a night resort. There are rooms(think dorm rooms), tent spaces and RV spots with water and electricity for a bargain. The membership skews older(50-70) but they are very active and do all the work of running the place. The visitors skew towards younger and we sure had fun and made new friends while there.

The pool and hot tubs were very clean and well taken care of. You can purchase breakfast/lunch there as well. I believe the Ranch is actually ran by all volunteers and members. It looked like on certain days of the week they have events such as movie nights or game nights. Restrooms were clean and people are very friendly and welcoming. Totally would recommend bringing sun screen, bug spray and a towel to sit on. Being naked means being vulnerable, but it also means being free to be our true selves.

There are various trails my favorite brig Mill Butte At approximately a 5 mile loop with a summit trail in mid way through.

There are a variety of lovely free campsites throughout the refuge with pit/vault toilets and fire rings. That's it other than nature. Bring your own water, pack out your trash and bring anything you'd like to sit or do your cooking on. (Fire rings do have a grate, but there are no picnic tables.) We loved it! Very peaceful car camping and it's free! Plus the birding was nice.
