Welcome to beautiful North CentralWashington and lower British Columbia,one of the greatest undiscovered andunspoiled recreational areas in the Pa-cific Northwest. By traveling north from
Wenatchee along the many scenic by-ways like the Okanogan Trails Byway onhe International Discovery Loop, you will
experience two countries, many culturesand unique history and heritage.Okanogan, Douglas and Chelan counties
abound in ghost towns, historical land-marks, abandoned (and active) mines,camping, fishing, hunting, swimming,golfing, rock climbing, sightseeing, wildlifeviewing, horseback ridingyou name it!Canadas only desert region lies just
north of the border, in southern BritishColumbia from Osoyoos to Kelowna. Thearea is not only Canadas fruit basket,t also has a burgeoning wine industry.There are wine festivals and tastings, andwineries in the Osoyoos and Oliver areaswelcome visitors.Back in the United States, north central
Washington is staking out a whole winendustry as well, with established and newwineries from Chelan to Oroville.Although fishing and hunting remain two
of the biggest recreational pastimes inhe area, watchable wildlife activities like
birdwatching are increasing in popularity.This region offers a variety of flora andauna for wildlife fans to explore.Even though the area is semi-desert,he region offers several fine lakes for
swimming, boating, jet skiing and fishing.Water recreation choices range from thenternational Lake Osoyoos to internation-ally famous Lake Chelan, from the mightyColumbia River to the undiscoveredSimilkameen.If wide open spaces are the thing, the
wide-open plateau isthe spot; the drive be-tween Bridgeport andWaterville, over thetop as it were, is full
of straight roads andbig skies. Waterville isthe Douglas Countyseatcheck out thehistoric courthouseand is full of housesand shops that showits late 19th Century,red brick roots. Goodfishing spots are hid-den here and there,old houses can bespotted from the road,and occasionally a hang glider will passby, since the plateau is good for that sortof unusual recreation.The Columbia, Methow and Okanogan
rivers provide excellent fishing, as do themany local lakes. Theres good water forskiing or just a relaxing boat ride. Withspring and the snowmelt, smaller localrivers provide plenty of good whitewaterrafting, then calm down in the height ofsummer, making for fun tubing.How about taking a hike, or maybe a
mountain bike ride, maybe even a horse-back ride? Try one of the many fun and
interesting trails in the Methow Vmore than 400 miles for the choos
anywhere from Chief Joseph Dam ros. Summer days can hit 100 degmore, so one of the rivers, the swholes or local pools might be appGolfers have a plethora of choice
the Oroville Golf Club to Lake WBridgeport, Alta Lake near PatOmak and Okanogan and Chewell as courses in Osoyoos andCamping and RV facilities are aat numerous locations from WateOroville.Again, welcome to north centraington and lower British Columb
hope you will stay a whenjoy all the area has tJust remember to brincamera.
Welcome, stay awhile and see what we have to offer.

Lake Chelan/OrondoFor generations, stress weary Washing-on families have packed up their flip-flops
and tank tops and come to the lakeLakeChelan. The resort community is at theoot of the 55-mile long lake, surrounded
by rolling hills and serenity. At the head ofhe lake, the Stehekin Valley is nestled inhe heart of the Cascade Mountains. Aseatured in National Geographic Maga-zine, this fjord-like setting is accessibleonly by boat, floatplane or foot, by hikingn from outside the valley.The Lake Chelan area offers an unparal-eled variety of scenic and recreationalexperiences. While boating, fishing andwater sports have long been the mostpopular pastimes on the lake, the areas becoming well-known for a varietyof activities such as agri-tourism, wine
asting, golf, walking, hiking, backpack-ng, mountain biking, hang gliding andparagliding, as well as winter sports withdownhill skiing; and miles of snowmobile,cross-country and snowshoe trails.
And of course, there are year-roundactivities like gaming, bowling, shoppingand sightseeing.When you are ready to sit back, relax andake in the sights, many scenic tours are
available by charter boat, passenger ferryand floatplane. While there is no road tohe end of the lake, you can drive alonghe north shore to the end of the road and
see incredible views of the lake. From hereyou begin to see the dramatic contrastrom the azure blue water, orchards androlling hills in the populated Chelan andManson region at the foot of the lake to thegranite cliffs and snow-covered mountainsrising dramatically from glacier-greenwater uplake.
Whether you are looking for a placeto play or just plan to relax, LakeChelan has it all. Come to the lakeand make your own memories.Orondo is a small community in
Douglas County at the base of PineCanyon. Douglas County is bor-dered on the north and west by theColumbia River and Grand CouleeDam marks the southeast corner ofthe county. The Orondo River Parkprovides access to the ColumbiaRiver, as do Lincoln Rock State Parkand Daroga State Park, which areonly minutes away.

CarltonAround 1890 the first town in the Methow
Valley was the town of Silver. In 1894 alood completely washed away the town.Moving the town up a bench from theriver, Silver rose again with a saloon,blacksmith, three houses and a 2-storystore. The stores second story was set
for entertaining and as a dance hall. Thefirst movie ever shown in the valley wasat this hall.However, the towns of Carlton and Twisp
had taken hold and were prospering. Sil-ver eventually faded into history around1902. In 1907 W.J. Flemming bought the
vacant dance hall/store and haddown and moved by man and hthe thriving town of Carlton. Thmunity dance hall/store from Silvreconstructed and was reintroduthe Carlton General Store and wCarltons first Post Office.

OkanoganWashingtons best kept secret
The town first began as a trading postestablished north of Salmon Creek byFrank Pard Cummings, but Okanogan,ncorporated in 1907, later became thecounty seat of the largest county in thearea in Washington in 1914.One of the highlights of the year for Oka-
nogan County residents is the county fairheld at the fairgrounds each September.During fair week, thousands of peoplelock to the area to find an understand-ng of the history and culture of the area.Competitions are held in hundreds ofcategories, ranging from arts and craftso dog handling, with prizes given to rib-
bon winners in each category. A rodeoand horse race are also held each year,n conjunction with the fair.The month of June is traditionally beauti-ul and sunny in the Okanogan Valley, justright for the Okanogans annual commu-nity celebration, Sunny Okanogan Days.The celebration is on the first Saturday inJune and starts off early in the morningwith the Kiwanis pancake breakfast. Mer-chants remain open during the celebrationand sidewalk vendors offer tempting food,gifts and souvenirs.The Okanogan Days Parade featuresestively decorated floats, antique autos,he old-time Okanogan fire engine spray-ng innocent bystanders, communityroyalty, horseback drill teams, and more.Music performances by local groups arescheduled throughout the day.Other events include a fun run, lots of
childrens games and activities, a kids petparade and a street dance with live music.n October the town pays homage to theareas agriculture industry with a HarvestFestival and on the day after Thanksgiv-ng, Get Lit in Okanogan is the ChristmasLighting Ceremony.Being the county seat, Okanogan is also
he home to the historic Okanogan CountyCourthouse. Its architecture is reminiscentof the old mission-style and is one of thecountys most attractive buildings. Alson Okanogan is the Okanogan CountyMuseum, which features an extensive his-ory of the county, as well as many Frank
Matsura photographs from the famousJapanese frontier photographer whomade the Okanogan his home before theurn of the last century. Matsura is the sub-ect of some mystery, having arrived in theOkanogan in 1890. The photographers
images are muchsought after by col-lectors for their depic-tion of early rural lifeand the Native Ameri-cans and cowboysin a time when thecattle in the countyfar outnumbered thepeople.Matsuras studio
and shop are recre-ated at the OkanoganCounty Historical Mu-seum, as is the oldOkanogan Fire Hallwith its soaring roof,designed for drying of the fire hoses. Themuseum is one of five operated by theOkanogan County Historical Society. Inthe museum, a series of dioramas, mod-els, photographs and displays of relics tellthe countys story from earliest to moderntimes. Beside the museum is a replicaof an Old West town of the early 1900s.Outdoor displays include farm equipmentand what is believed to be the Okanogansoldest structure, a log cabin built in 1879.The museum is located adjacent to theLegion Park, which can accommodateovernight RV parking (no hookup) for asmall fee, which will facilitate seeing themuseum as well as visiting the surround-ing area.For more information on Okanogan, call

RiversidePaddlewheelers and brisk commerce part o its past
Perhaps one of the most important townsn Okanogan Countys early day history,Riverside is still a quaint and picturesque
own, as it sits nestled between the Oka-nogan River and State Highway 97.Riverside was once a booming com-
mercial center. As head of navigation forhe Okanogan River, goods transported
up the Columbia River and further up theOkanogan could not get past Riverside.So Riverside became an important con-nection between then isolated OkanoganCounty, and more populated areas of theregion.In celebration of the importance of
Riversides past, the community holds
RiverFest, which includes a street fair,music and community auction. The annualestival is held in early August.Paddle-wheeled steamships chugged
up the Columbia from Wenatchee, con-inuing their journey up the sometimes
barely navigable waters of the Okanogan,stopping to unload their merchandise atRiverside. Much of the valleys producealso left for other markets by way of thisifeline to the world, which was only navi-gable past Brewster for six to eight weeksof each year.
Supplies for the then booming goldmines often came up the river in this way.Freight wagons then carried the supplieso the outlying mining towns. When the
railroads arrived, the steamers becameess economical and eventually died out.Until the railroads came, Riverside washe only connection between the northern
part of the county and the rest of the state,other than an arduous journey by wagonsover primitive roads.It was originally called Republic Landing
because it was an important supply pointo the booming Republic mining camp in
Ferry County. The town became Riversiden 1900 when Pard Cummings relocatedt just below an island that had frustratedsteamboats. In 1908, the push was on tomove the county seat from Conconullyo Riverside. The competition for the dis-inction included Omak and Okanogan.
Riverside was not successful and countygovernment moved to its present dayocation in Okanogan.Several things conspired to turn River-
side into the quiet community it is today
- the railroad replaced the steamshiptrade, the grab for the county seat wasunsuccessful and the 1913 Carney fire andothers leveled the downtown area.Even when temperatures hit their highest,
Riverside always seems plush and green.Farmland still surrounds the town and abridge gives one of the few accesses tothe east side of the Okanogan River. Manyfind Riverside a pleasant place to live andcommute to jobs in Omak and Okanoganto the south, or Tonasket to the north.One of the biggest attractions to River-
side is the famous Historic Detros WesternStore; there is also a well-stocked countrystore with gas pumps and a great rustic
saloon, a gun and pawnshop and an artgallery. There are parks for picnicking andtwo RV parks for travelers.In addition, there is a boat launch with
parking area managed by the state De-partment of Natural Resources. The siteon the Okanogan River is one of the mainaccess points for the upper branch of theGreater Columbia Water Trail. Riversideis also the launching point for many whotravel up to Crawfish Lake, which has anenjoyable recreation area.
