We’ve got an impressive 100 state parks here in Washington, some of which are pretty fantastic. But while some attract an abundance of locals and out-of-state tourists alike, a few of our state parks remain under-the-radar. Lincoln Rock State Park falls somewhere between those two extremes — while it’s certainly a popular place to visit and camp, it also happens to be extremely underrated.
Lincoln Rock State Park is located about 7 miles north of East Wenatchee on the east side of the Columbia River’s Lake Entiat.
