Calling all leaf peepers! It’s my favorite time of year, autumn! I love everything about this season… the cooler temperatures, hot beverages, and of course, the leaves changing. Witnessing the fall foliage in Washington should be on everyone’s bucket list, but just in case it’s not, come with me to check out this underrated state park in Washington where you can hit the trails and enjoy the kaleidoscope of colors. 

Welcome to Lake Wenatchee State Park, a 492-acre state park on the eastern edge of Lake Wenatchee.

The glacier-fed lake is a popular hangout during the summer months, but honestly, this park is just dreamy year-round.

Winter brings a lot of cross-country skiers and snowmobilers to the park, but fall is kind of a shoulder season for this underrated park.
In my opinion, fall is when Lake Wenatchee State Park comes alive. Just look at those colors!

There are eight miles of hiking trails, five miles of horse trails, and seven miles of biking trails to explore here.

It doesn’t get as much attention as some of the other Washington state parks, but we love this hidden gem during the fall so much that we included it in our list of best places to watch the fall foliage in Washington.
It's hard to predict when to see the fall foliage in Washington, so you'll need to be flexible if you want to see it at its peak.

One cold snap could change everything, but it'll probably be within the first two weeks of October. Take a peep at our previous article that goes into more detail about when the leaves will change color in Washington.
To really get the full experience, I recommend spending a long weekend (or even a week) camping here.
