The Colombia River Plateau
Outdoor lovers should not miss a trip to the Columbia River Plateau. For those who like to see the scenery by way of bike, just pick a starting point. You will not be disappointed by any route you choose whether it’s past expansive orchards with the backdrop of the dry plains of the desert or the path of the roaring river between cliffs of Washington’s columnar basalt. The Columbia River offers a host of fish including large and smallmouth bass, brook trout, Kokanee, walleye, crappie, perch and pan fish. Anglers will also want to check out Banks Lake, Moses Lake and the Potholes Reservoir for some of the best fishing in the state. For great wildlife and bird watching visit Lake Chelan National Recreation Area, Marcellus Shrub Steppe Natural Area Preserve and Spring Creek Canyon Natural Area Preserve. All three offer viewing, as well as, camping, hiking, and biking. For a taste of history in the region visit the areas of the Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians. Before modern day technology and industry changed the shape of the land, these Indians roamed freely to follow game across the plateau. |
