Lake Wenatchee is a gem of a State Park in any season, but in recent days, sub zero temps and prolific snowfall have turned the area into a winter poster child.

The State Park is divided into North and South areas with both offering cross-country and snowshoe trails.  The South portion also has a free groomed sledding hill for small and big kids alike.

Just a short walk from the sledding hill, the lake itself is frozen solid enough to walk on – at least near the beach park.  Frost flowers give a surreal texture to the ice.

Easy snowshoe trails are a great place for kids to learn.  They traverse snowy forest and frozen lakeshore.
