Recreationland 2010

Welcome to beautiful North Central Washington and lower British Columbia, one of the greatest “undiscovered” and unspoiled recreational areas in the Pa-cific Northwest. By traveling north from Wenatchee along the many scenic by-ways like the Okanogan Trails Byway on the International Discovery Loop, you will experience two countries, many cultures and 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, wildlife viewing, horseback riding—you name it!Canada’s only desert region lies just

north of the border, in southern British Columbia from Osoyoos to Kelowna. The area is not only Canada’s fruit basket, it also has a burgeoning wine industry. There are wine festivals and tastings, and wineries in the Osoyoos and Oliver areas welcome visitors.Back in the United States, north central

Washington is staking out a whole wine industry as well, with established and new wineries from Chelan to Oroville.Although fishing and hunting remain two

of the biggest recreational pastimes in the area, watchable wildlife activities like birdwatching are increasing in popularity. This region offers a variety of flora and fauna for wildlife fans to explore.Even though the area is semi-desert,

the region of fers several f ine lakes for swimming, boating, jet skiing and

fishing. Water recre-ation choices range from the international Lake Osoyoos to in-ternationally famous Lake Chelan, from the mighty Columbia River to the undiscov-ered Similkameen.If wide open spac-

es are the thing, the wide-open plateau is the spot; the drive between Bridgeport and Waterville, over the top as it were, is full of straight roads and big skies. Water-ville is the Douglas County seat—check out the historic courthouse—and is full of houses and shops that show its late 19th Century, red brick roots. Good fish-ing spots are hidden here and there, old houses can be spotted from the road, and occasionally a hang glider will pass by, since the plateau is good for that sort of unusual recreation.The Columbia, Methow and Okanogan

rivers provide excellent fishing, as do the many local lakes. There’s good water for skiing or just a relaxing boat ride. With spring and the snowmelt, smaller local rivers provide plenty of good whitewater rafting, then calm down in the height of summer, 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 Valley—more than 400 miles for the choosing—or anywhere from Chief Joseph Dam to Pate-ros. Summer days can hit 100 degrees or more, so one of the rivers, the swimming holes or local pools might be appealing.Golfers have a plethora of choices, from

the Oroville Golf Club to Lake Woods in Bridgeport, Alta Lake near Pateros to Omak and Okanogan and Chelan, as well as courses in Osoyoos and Oliver. Camping and RV facilities are available at numerous locations from Waterville to Oroville.Again, welcome to north central Wash-

ington and lower British Columbia. We hope you will stay a while and enjoy all the area has to offer. Just remember to bring your camera.

Winter-time Activities Abound

There are lots of winter-time activities available in the Okanogan including downhill and cross-country skiing, sled-ding, snowmobiling and snowshoeing.A great place for downhill skiing and

snowboarding is the Sitzmark Ski area located on the Havillah Road about 20 miles from Tonasket. The hill has seven main runs and has been the training grounds for generations of skiers from Tonasket and Oroville. There is a chair-lift and 660 vertical foot ski run with an elevation of 4,950 feet. Runs range from easy to “expert only.” Sitzmark also offers ski rentals and there is also a day lodge where skiers can warm up with some-thing to eat and some coffee or cocoa.The Loup Loup Ski Bowl is located

between Twisp and Okanogan near the summit of the Loup Loup Pass. Loup Loup has six primary runs to choose from with a 1,200 ft. vertical drop. There are great tubing runs and rentals for the whole family to enjoy at Loup Loup as well.The Loup has been a countywide effort

of ski enthusiasts since its inception; volunteers helped build it back in the day, the chair lift was paid for through fundraising efforts, it’s one of the few non-

profit ski areas around. People who want more information on skiing opportunities on the Loup can check the website at skitheloup.com.Mount Baldy Ski Area is located north-

east of Osoyoos, B.C. and is popular with skiers on both sides of the border. In addition to great ski runs there are 20 km of marked snowshoe trails and non-groomed cross-country trails, 20 km of groomed cross country ski trails for day use and a tobogganing area. Another choice for intermediate and

advanced skiers is helicopter-assisted skiing. North Cascade Heli-Skiing, lo-cated in Mazama has a variety of down-hill and Nordic ski packages available. They offer world-class powder skiing on 300,000 square acres in the North Cas-cades, with some of the most spectacular scenery and best skiing conditions in the Northwest.About three miles down the road from

Sitzmark is the Highland Sno-Park with 21 miles of groomed trails for those who enjoy cross-country (telemark) skiing. There are many areas in the Okanogan to go sledding and tubing as well or for a great work out try snowshoeing.

Nestled in the foothills of the North Cascades is the perfect quite spot for your celebration

OrovilleOroville, or “Gold Town,” is situated four

miles south of the Canadian border. An average of 2,000 vehicles a day, pass through the nearby Port of Entry to enter the U.S. or go to Canada. The shared entry is open 24 hours and is the busi-est and only commercial port in Eastern Washington.Incorporated in 1908, Oroville sits just

north of the confluence of two rivers – the Similkameen and the Okanogan and borders Lake Osoyoos, an international body of water shared by Oroville and Osoyoos, B.C..Oroville was originally noted for its

mining, cattle and timber, but today is better known for its apples, cherries, pears and grapes and for being the birthplace of the apple industry in Wash-ington. The area’s first white settler was Hiram “Okanogan” Smith, who arrived here in 1860. Smith, who later served in the territorial and state legislatures, became recognized as the first apple orchardist in Washington after packing 1,200 tree seedlings on his back down from Canada to his homestead on Lake Osoyoos. He planted 24 acres of apples and eight acres of peaches, pears and grapes. Some of the original apple trees still survive and continue to produce to this day.The industry he started nearly 150

years ago is still important today, with millions of boxes of fruit packed here every year. Gold Digger Apples led the way in the American Okanogan Valley in grape growing. Their Okanogan Estates & Vineyards winery has produced sever-al award winning vintages. In addition to Okanogan Estate & Vineyards, Oroville boasts Lake Crest, Copper Mountain and Esther Bricques Wineries.

In addition to the burgeoning wine industry, Oroville has a fine microbrew-ery – Alpine Brewery. The small brewery handcraf ts authentic German-style beers that are enjoyed in the home mar-ket, as well as pubs and restaurants on both sides of the Cascades. Spr ing ushers in the annual May

Festival. This yearly festival is held the second weekend in May and features, among other activities, a parade, fun run, bass tournament, 3-on-3 basketball tournament and spring barrel tasting. Over 350 riders will be cruising into

town for their six annual Run for the Border on Armed Services Day, Sat-urday, May 15. Riders take of f from Wenatchee in the morning and arrive in Oroville around 1 p.m. as part of the charity event. Two fine parks are situated on the

lake. Osoyoos Lake Veteran’s Memorial Park is located in town is a big draw to the area. The park offers handicapped campsites and access to the day park

and picnic areas. It also offers boat-launching facilities, as does Deep Bay Park about one and a half miles north of the city limits. Deep Bay Park has open and covered picnic areas and public restrooms. There is also a fireworks display there every July 4th.Osoyoos Lake offers swimming, boat-

ing, sailing, water and jet skiing, as well as first-class fishing. Or, if you want, you can just sit on the beach and relax. From Lake Osoyoos you can paddle your canoe or kayak south down the Okanogan River and stop by Oroville’s Henry Kniss Riverfront Park. There are picnic tables and the park is a great spot to watch local wildlife.Oroville has several other small parks,

some designed with picnicking in mind and others for softball or soccer. Bud Clark Memorial ball fields, just south-east of Oroville on Chesaw Road, was designed with three diamonds to ac-commodate Lit tle League and adult softball tournaments. “City Park” is just west of Main Street. Centennial Park, built to mark the city’s 100th Birthday, is located in the heart of downtown. The park with gazebo, grass, flowers, trees, tables and benches was designed as a place to sit back and relax after enjoying a walk downtown among the town’s many shopping and dining op-portunities.Osoyoos Lake is also home to power

boat racing. This will be the tenth year powerboats have roared around the lake in the Can-Am Apple Cup Limited Hydroplane Races on Aug. 14 and 15. The races feature both inboard and out-board powerboats, including the limited hydroplanes. Oroville Heritage Day and Airport Day

are both in August. The Rendezvous Rhythm and Blues Festival is held on Labor Day week-end. In addition to all

these events and festivities, this bor-der town offers the sports enthusiast many outlets dur-ing the spring and summer. There is golfing at the Oro-ville Golf Club. Its nine-hole course is considered one of the most beautiful and challenging small courses in the state. A trailhead to the Similkameen River Trail, which follows the old Great Northern Railroad grade from Oroville, across a steel trestle bridge over the Similkameen River and

through an old railroad tunnel, is being developed.Dorothy Scott International Airport can

accommodate light planes and has 24-hour credit card operated fuel pumps as well as U.S. Customs check in for international travelers.

Tonasket

To look at Ellisforde today, many people might miss the rich history of the tiny town between Tonasket and Oroville.Early day missionaries to the county from

the Catholic Church chose Ellisforde as the site where they would build their first mis-sion church. Father de Rouge’ built a home and the original chapel, named Our Lady of Lourdes, in 1885 along the Okanogan River near Ellisforde. Both Native Americans and whites attend-

ed Catholic Mass there. He later constructed a small school. The original chapel burned in 1894. Today only the mission cemetery re-mains, located behind the Ellisforde Church

of the Brethren. The town has two convenience-

type markets located on opposite sides of State Highway 97 which in-tersects the small community. One store also offers a few Hispanic food items that they prepare. Ellisforde is mostly a bedroom community for those that work in the nearby orchards and for people who work in Oroville and Tonasket. From El-lisforde you can either travel north to Oroville or south to Tonasket or use the bridge to cross the Okanogan River to County Highway 7.

All roads lead to Tonasket

Tonasket is a vigorous town with people that like to work hard, as well as play hard. Many of the community’s events reflect this relationship between labor and leisure, including the annual Founder’s Day Rodeo and Grand Parade, as well as newer events like the Garlic Festival.Tonasket, with a population of 1,000

very close-knit people, is nestled in the Okanogan Valley approximately 20 miles south of the U.S.-Canadian border. It is the center of a large agricultural area,

with apples, cattle and timber being the most prevalent products. The Founder’s Day Rodeo and Parade

is June 4 through June 5 this year. The rodeo begins Friday evening with the Jeremy Ives Memorial Bull Riding. The Founders Day Grand Parade is on Sat-urday. Following the parade it’s back to the rodeo grounds south of town for some bronco busting. The Tonasket Father’s Day Fly-In on

June 19 and 20 is an annual event featur-ing local and visiting pilots at Tonasket’s Municipal Airport west of town. Tonasket has been the local leader in these crowd-


pleasing events and the town is gearing up for its 16th year. There’s a barbecue on Saturday and a pilot’s breakfast on Sunday morning. Also on Sunday, kids under 12-years-old fly free.The Okanogan River Garlic Festival,

held in August at History Park, is one of the newer traditions in Tonasket, but is getting quite a following. The event at-tracts local farmers selling a variety of garlic’s, as well as other fresh produce and flowers.If you like to see drivers crash into one

another in an effort to demolish one another’s cars, the Tonasket Demolition Derby on Sunday, Sept. 5 is the place for you. The contest is always exciting and attracts drivers and machines from throughout the county. There are compe-titions for both men and women and the event is a big hit with the kids.Tonasket is intersected by state High-

ways 97 and 20. Highway 97, an inter-national roadway, links the town with Canada to the north, and California on the extreme south. Highway 20 is an east/west route from the Pacific Coast via the North Cascades Highway, to Republic and Spokane.

If you miss the bigger commu-nity events, take a d v a n t a g e o f Tonasket’s wide range of recre-ational possibili-t ies. There are picnic and barbe-cue facilities that are conveniently located at Histo-ry Park, near the Okanogan River. There is also a swimming pool where swimmers a re under the watchful eyes of trained lifeguards. There is a walking trail next to the Okanogan River at Chief To-nasket Park, which also features several soccer fields and a covered picnic area. The new B3 - Blade and Bike - Skate Park is also at Chief Tonasket Park. The original town site of this western

village was located on the west side of the Okanogan River, about one mile south of its present location. Elva Helm

and the late Henry Colbert noted in their book “All Roads Lead to Tonasket” that the town was once called Parry’s Ferry, or Parry’s Landing, for Watkins W. Parry, an early pioneer settler who had extensive holdings in the area.The present site of the town was pur-

chased from the Bonaparte Land Com-pany in 1910 and was soon platted. It was named Tonasket after Chief Tonasket of the Okanogan Tribe.

Paddlewheelers and brisk com-merce part of its past

Perhaps one of the most important towns in Okanogan County’s early day history, Riverside is still a quaint and picturesque town, as it sits nestled between the Oka-nogan River and State Highway 97.Riverside was once a booming commer-

cial center. As head of navigation for the Okanogan River, goods transported up the Columbia River and further up the Okano-gan could not get past Riverside. So Riv-erside became an important connection between then isolated Okanogan County and more populated areas of the region. Paddle-wheeled steamships chugged up the Columbia from Wenatchee, con-tinuing their journey up the sometimes barely navigable waters of the Okanogan, stopping to unload their merchandise at Riverside. Much of the valley’s produce also left for other markets by way of this lifeline to the world, which was only navi-gable past Brewster for six to eight weeks of each year.Supplies for the then booming gold mines

often came up the river in this way. Freight wagons then carried the supplies to the outlying mining towns. When the railroads arrived, the steamers became less eco-nomical and eventually died out.In celebration of the importance of

Riverside’s past, the community holds RiverFest, which includes a street fair, music and community auction. The annual festival is held in early August every year and is scheduled for Aug. 7 this year. Call (509) 826-7161 for more information.Even when temperatures hit their highest,

Riverside always seems plush and green. Farmland still surrounds the town and a bridge gives one of the few accesses to

the east side of the Okanogan River. Many find Riverside a pleasant place to live and commute to jobs in Omak and Okanogan to the south, or Tonasket to the north.There are parks for picnicking and two

RV parks for travelers. In addition, there is a boat launch with parking area man-aged by the state Department of Natural Resources. The site on the Okanogan River is one of the main access points for the upper branch of the Greater Columbia Water Trail. Riverside is also the launching point for many who travel up to Crawfish Lake, which has an enjoyable recreation area.

OMAKThe busy hub of the Okanogan

Omak has events planned for every sea-son of the year.In summer there’s the Stampede and

World Famous Suicide Race which is always the second weekend in August. Omak has been a rodeo town almost from the beginning and in it’s early days every Saturday night, settlers and Native Americans gathered from miles around. Horse races took place down a dusty Main Street and bucking horse contests were held in a crude canvas arena.

Omak’s Stampede and World Famous Suicide Race has been held since 1935. The event features four rodeo perfor-mances followed by the World Famous Suicide Race, where horse and rider race down a steep embankment and cross the Okanogan River for the push to the finish line. There is also a Western Art Show held in conjunction with the annual event.Other attractions include a carnival

and midway, parades, Western dances, concession row shopping, and a genu-ine Native American encampment. The encampment is complete with over 100

OkanoganWashington’s best kept secret

The town first began as a trading post established north of Salmon Creek by Frank “Pard” Cummings, but Okanogan, incorporated in 1907, later became the county seat of the largest county in the area in Washington in 1914. One of the highlights of the year for Okano-

gan County residents is the county fair held at the fairgrounds each September. This year’s fair is Sept. 9 through Sept. 12. During fair week, thousands of people flock to the area to find an understanding of the history and culture of the area. Competitions are held in hundreds of categories, ranging from arts and crafts to dog handling, with prizes given to ribbon winners in each cat-egory. A rodeo and horse race are also held each year, in conjunction with the fair.The month of June is traditionally beauti-

ful and sunny in the Okanogan Valley, just right for the Okanogan’s annual community celebration, Sunny Okanogan Days. The celebration is on the first Saturday in June and starts off early in the morning with the Kiwanis pancake breakfast. Merchants remain open during the celebration and sidewalk vendors offer tempting food, gifts and souvenirs. The Okanogan Days Parade features

festively decorated floats, antique autos, the old-time Okanogan fire engine spraying innocent bystanders, community royalty, horseback drill teams and more. Music per-

formances by local groups are scheduled throughout the day. Other events include a fun run, lots of children’s games and activi-ties, a kids’ pet parade and a street dance with live music. In October the town pays homage to the area’s agriculture industry with a Harvest Festival.Being the county seat, Okanogan is also

the home to the historic Okanogan County Courthouse. Its architecture is reminiscent of the old mission-style and is one of the county’s most attractive buildings. Also in Okanogan is the Okanogan County Mu-seum, which features an extensive history of the county, as well as many ‘Frank Matsura’ photographs from the famous Japanese frontier photographer who made the Oka-nogan his home before the turn of the last century. Matsura is the subject of some mystery, having arrived in the Okanogan in 1890. The photographer’s images are much sought after by collectors for their depiction of early rural life and the Native Americans and cowboys in a time when the cattle in the

county far outnumbered the people. Matsura’s studio and shop are recreated at

the Okanogan County Historical Museum, as is the old Okanogan Fire Hall with its soaring roof, designed for drying of the fire hoses. The museum is one of five operated by the Okanogan County Historical Society. In the museum, a series of dioramas, mod-els, photographs and displays of relics tell the county’s story from earliest to modern times. Beside the museum is a replica of an Old West town of the early 1900s. Outdoor displays include farm equipment and what is believed to be the Okanogan’s oldest structure, a log cabin built in 1879. The museum is located adjacent to the Legion Park, which can accommodate overnight RV parking (no hookup) for a small fee, which will facilitate seeing the museum as well as visiting the surrounding area.

Osoyoos/Oliver, B.C.Playground in Canada’s only desert

With countless opportunities for year round recreational fun, it’s hard to un-derstand why Osoyoos, B.C., located in Canada’s only desert, has remained “Canada’s Best Kept Secret.” Just four miles north of the U.S., Osoyoos

has the warmest average temperature in Canada and the warmest freshwater lake in Canada in Lake Osoyoos. There are several public boat launches and the lake is accessible through any of four sandy public swimming beaches. Visitors will enjoy water skiing, swimming, fishing, boating, golf, tennis, water slides, hiking and horseback riding – and that’s just in the summertime.On the northeast side of the lake is Can-

ada’s only desert area, featuring a variety of flora and fauna only to be found in this specific environment. Many rare species of birds, bats and cacti survive here. The Desert Interpretive Center is a must see for anyone traveling to Osoyoos.Five miles west of Osoyoos off Hwy 3,

is Klikuk (Spotted Lake), a natural phe-nomenon. In the summer, evaporation and crystallization of the minerals in the lake causes the formation of odd-looking white circles all over the surface, hence the name Spotted Lake. The First Nations People consider the lake a sacred area and it has recently gone back to the local Indian band.In winter, nearby Mt. Baldy offers a vari-

ety of downhill terrain for beginning and expert skiers. Visitors will find facilities in Osoyoos that offer lawn bowling, rac-quetball, basketball, curling, hockey and badminton. The town boasts three large grocery stores, over 100 merchants and several businesses and a public recre-ation facility.The village’s biggest celebration of the

year is the Osoyoos Cherry Fiesta on July 1 on Canada Day. Now in its 60th year, the celebration features a parade, live enter-tainment, food and crafts fair, activities for the kids and a spectacular fireworks display over Lake Osoyoos.In the Canadian Okanagan (spelled with

three “A’s, rather than two as in the states), Osoyoos was once primarily an agricul-tural community. Today Osoyoos enjoys a quiet lifestyle, with tourism playing an increasing role in the local economy. Motels and hotels offer over 1,000 accom-modation units. Osoyoos is well known for its local restaurants, attracting tourists, lo-cals and their neighbors to the south from nearby Oroville. Several campgrounds are within a few minutes of downtown.In Canada’s Desert Wine Country, visitors

can check out one of the several wineries that produce award-winning vintages sold throughout Canada and the world. The Okanagan Valley Spring Wine Festival helps to celebrate these wines and will be held April 30 through May 9 this year and the Fall Wine Festival will be Oct. 1 through Oct. 11. The area is also well known for its apple and cherry crops, as well as stone fruits. These fruits and many types of veg-etables can be found for sale in roadside fruit stands that dot the landscape.Another attraction is the Osoyoos Des-

ert Model Railroad, located a short drive west of town on Hwy 3 at the Buena Vista Industrial Park. The display is 2,000 square feet, featuring hand painted de-tail on each piece. The model railroad is Canada’s largest Marklin train layout with multiple rail lines and European style towns. The railroad can be enjoyed in a climate-controlled, wheelchair accessible building. There is also a well-known public art gallery.Osoyoos’ impressive new Destination

Osoyoos B.C. Visitor Centre is located at the junction of Highway 97 and Highway 3. To reach Osoyoos, travel north on High-way 97 from Oroville, crossing the border about four miles north. From Vancouver, take Highway 3 across British Columbia.

Capital of Canada’s wine country

Oliver and the surrounding district is a land of sunshine and fruit. The village was incorporated in 1945 and is situated at the base of the valley slope beside the Okanagan River, approximately 998 feet above sea level.Oliver is 16 miles north of the U.S. Port

of Entry at Oroville. Some 70 years ago a hardy group of

people from many parts of Canada im-migrated to this area, a group dedicated to building a new community and a new way of life. This semi-desert area was gradually changed over the years to the lush countryside you drive through today. Water and hard work were mainly responsible for this change.Oliver’s many wineries of fer tasting

rooms where various vintages can be sampled. Wine festivals are held throughout the grape growing region of the Canadian Okanagan. Oliver’s own Festival of the Grape is held in early May and kicks off the Spring Wine Festival. In addition, Oliver hosts the Wine Capital Sprint Triathlon in June. The early spring, hot summers and

late-arriving fall, coupled with short, mild winters, make Oliver a year-round playground. Warm summer and ad-equate water means an abundance of fresh fruit and vegetables, available to residents and visitors from picturesque fruit stands, which are featured at al-most every orchard.Oliver is a friendly area, a place where

families can come and find excellent camping, f ine ac-commodations and a variety of shop-ping facilities. Oli-ver’s many fine res-taurants make it a popular destination for people from the U.S. for special oc-casions, and young-sters enjoy the op-portunity to see the latest movies at the Oliver Theatre.

molsonHistoric tale fraught with turmoil and controversy

Molson was the product of the govern-ment’s decision to open the old north half of the Colville Indian Reservation to gold mining. It was initially financed by John W. Molson of Canadian brewing and banking fame. Promoter George Meacham had an option on the nearby Poland China Gold Mine and persuaded Molson to buy into the townsite.The town grew, but in 1901 Meacham

departed for the Texas oilfields. Boom times returned when homesteaders came and the Great Northern Railway began construction in 1905. The first passenger train arrived from Spokane on Nov. 2, 1906. There were two passenger and one freight train daily during the peak years. At one time it was the largest shipping point in the state. Molson also had the highest railroad depot with 3,708 feet. When the train made its way down to Oroville, it had to stop at Circle City to let its brakes cool and some say they could be seen glowing red after dark.John H. McDonald filed a homestead

claim, which included the original town-site. Business owners filed a suit and the fight was on. Noah LaCass platted 40 acres just north of Old Molson. It became a thriving town and was known as New Molson. Competition and rivalry went on between the two towns for some time.In spite of the friction, in 1914 a new

three-story brick schoolhouse was built between the two towns and Central Mol-son was platted. Eventually, a court ruled that three-square blocks in McDonald’s original Molson constituted a valid town-site, but by then it was too late as Old Molson was nearly a ghost town. Central and New Molson became the present community of Molson.Now that schoolhouse is the Molson

School Museum. It houses artifacts and a souvenir shop. Many exhibits reflect Molson and the area’s mining and farm-ing history and other facets of rural life. It is open from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Today, the ghost town is the Old Molson Outdoor Museum. The variety of build-ings include the original bank building, two homestead cabins, an assay office and other structures housing early day farm machinery and horse-drawn equip-ment. Old Molson can be viewed from April through November. Both museums

are sponsored by the Okanogan County Historical Society, but are manned and maintained by a local group of dedicated volunteers.Each June is the annual Molson Mid-

summer Festival. The day begins with a Fun Run/Walk, where participants are encouraged to collect wild flowers to be tied to the May pole later in the day. The festival includes kids’ games, races, mu-sic, horseshoe tournament, Frisbee golf, May pole dance, classic cars, food, arts and crafts and more. Proceeds go toward maintaining the museum.Historic sites can be viewed from Molson

to Oroville via the Nine Mile Road. Sites include Molson railroad history, Molson and Sidley lakes, the historic Sidley, B.C. and Circle City townsites. The historical society has developed and maintains signs posted at each site that describes some of the local history. Between Molson and Chesaw, one may read about the Hee Hee Indian legend.In the winter the North-

west Ice Fishing Festival is held on the Saturday of President’s Day weekend and attracts anglers from all over the state to com-pete for the biggest fish on Sidley Lake. There are dog sled rides, as well as food, arts and crafts and music in the Molson Grange Hall.The Inn at Molson is the

area’s newest business and features lodging at their Bed and Breakfast and has recently opened the only restaurant in Molson.

ChesawFamous for its rodeo, but there’s much more

Chesaw, an old gold mining town, was named for Chinese miner Joe Che Saw, who lived there in the early days of the settlement with his Indian wife. Chesaw is 21.5 miles east of Oroville. When the northern half of the Colville

Indian Reservation was opened up to mineral claims, prospectors flocked to the area. The town of Chesaw sprang up and the founding fathers decided to name it after the old settler and it became the only town in the state to have the distinction of having a Chinese name.The gold mining, long gone, has come

back to life at nearby Buckhorn Moun-tain with Kinross’ Buckhorn Project. The

town’s population has dwindled to just a handful, but every Independence Day the folks put on the family-oriented Chesaw Rodeo Fourth of July Rodeo. The event draws thousands of rodeo fans from all over the state and southern BC. But there is more to Chesaw. The beauti-

ful scenery and wildlife, the hiking, camp-ing and fishing in the national forest and at the nearby lakes like Lost, Beaver and Beth, make Chesaw a place you won’t want to miss. Eden Valley Guest Ranch, consisting of

10 deluxe cabins and a meeting lodge in the middle of a productive 900-acre farm, is located about halfway between Chesaw and Oroville off Dry Gulch Road. The guest ranch offers many activities, including horseback trail rides and snow-mobiling in the winter.

Okanogan Highlands

Havillah is one community that has not lost its identity. Once the center of grain growing country, Havillah was founded by German Lutherans in about 1910. The Havillah Lutheran Church, still in use today with a full-time pastor, is the main struc-ture that remains of the town and recently celebrated its 100th anniversary.Winter sports fans can enjoy great down-

hill and cross-country skiing near Havillah at the Sitzmark Ski Area, with its chair lifts, rope tow, lodge and pro shop and the state operated Highland Sno Park.Many locals cut their teeth, so to speak,

on Sitzmark Ski Area’s white slopes, but most from outside of the Tonas-ket and Oroville area are unaware of Sitzmark’s long, colorful past. Started as a project by a group of area volunteers, the community’s “ski hill” went from a simple rope tow in the early days and grew to become a modern ski area with chair lifts and a cozy, neighborly atmosphere.Good snow years have helped to increase the ski area’s popularity, but you won’t see giant lines to catch the chair lift, as with other ski facilities.

The Okanogan Highlands - Aeneas Valley, Wauconda and Bonaparte

There are many small communities in the Okanogan Highlands that are enjoyed both for their recreational opportunities as well as their history and culture.The Aeneas Valley was a favorite winter

ground for Indians because of its mild climate and in 1863 Chief Aeneas settled there permanently with his wife and fam-ily. The first settlers came in the spring of 1897. Fishing and camping number among

the many recreation possibilities around the Aeneas Valley area. There are several small lakes located along Aeneas Valley Road. These include Round, Long and El lakes. Crawfish and Lyman lakes are not far away either.El Lake, 16 miles southeast of Tonasket,

has selective gear rules and a one trout limit. A boat launch and toilets are avail-able. Open season is from the last Satur-

day in April through Oct. 31. Round and Long lakes are just down the road and are also favorite fishing spots for many.The nearby Aeneas Valley Store is fully

stocked and convenient for picking up something to eat or gassing up your ve-hicle while on your fishing trip. Lyman Lake Campground charges no fee for camping. Four single camps provide campers with

fishing opportunities. Crawfish Lake has 15 single and four multiple no-fee camp sites at an elevation of 4,500 feet. Rec-reational opportunities include fishing, swimming, boating and picnicking at the picnic facility.The community of Wauconda, 24 miles

east of Tonasket, is centered in an old wooden building that sits beside Highway

Inside are a tiny U.S. Post Office, grocery store and café that hear-kens back to a simpler time. It’s a place where neighbors meet and travelers can catch their breath before heading on to their destination. The big event for Wauconda is the Flag

Wau-conda celebrated a century of Flag Days in 1998, making it the oldest continually held event in Okanogan County.Rock collecting enthusiasts are encour-

aged to visit abandoned Sheridan Mines near old Toroda that have crystallized glass-like ingots and copper/gold/iron containing rock. The area is also well known for its diversity of outdoor sports – fishing, hunting in season and snow-mobiling near Lake Bonaparte. Nearby is mountain hiking, cross-country and snow skiing activities.A road to the left of the store takes

travelers to the sites of old Toroda and Bodie, which were founded in the 1890s when gold and silver were discovered in

the area. Wauconda is now mainly a farming community.Many communit ies

that sprang up in this area during the home-stead era have van-ished. Only their names l inger on – K ipling, Circle City, Knob Hill and Golden, to name a few.In 1886 the U.S. gov-

ernment built a water-powered sawmill at Bonaparte for the local Native Americans. By 1904 there was also a livery barn, two-story rooming house and a store. Bonaparte Lake Resort is located on the shores of a beauti-ful mountain lake, mid-way between Tonasket and Republic, six miles north of State Hwy. 20. Nearby is the Boy Scouts of America campground, where many young scouts earn merit badges during summer camp. It’s only a short drive to Lost, Beaver and Beth lakes,

which offer some of the areas best fishing and camping opportunities. This same area offers some of the most varied hunt-ing you will find anywhere. You can also enjoy boating, swimming, hiking, snow-mobiling and other winter sports.

Evokes memories of times past

Nighthawk is the name of both an old western town and the nearby border crossing into Canada. The town as it stands is no longer open to the public, with most of the historic buildings in private hands. However, the flavor of the town can still be seen from the Loomis-Oroville Highway with its nearby bridge that crosses the Similkameen River as the river makes its way to Oroville.Nighthawk is in the middle of a farming,

ranching and mining area. From the late 1890s to the 1950s, it was a gold milling center. The most famous mining opera-tion in the area was the Palmer Mountain Gold Mining and Tunnel Company, which blasted a tunnel more than a mile long into the mountain and built the biggest concentrating mill in the state at the time yet the mill never turned a wheel.According to Boomtown Tales and

Historic People, Nighthawk was the headwater for six mining companies. Its permanent population of 50 served hundreds of miners and railroad work-ers throughout the area. By 1903, there

was a general store, railroad station and the Nighthawk Hotel and Saloon. Today, only a handful of people dwell there in the shadows of the empty two-story Nighthawk Hotel.Nearby there are four state-owned river

access points for kayakers and rafters. On three of these access areas the state has improved parking for those who wish to leave their vehicle before launching into the river.Trave le r s f rom

Oroville heading up the Loomis-Oro-ville Highway will eventually come to a fork in the road. Head to the lef t and you go to the town of Nighthawk and further on to Loomis. Head to the right and north and you will end up at the Nighthawk-Chopaka Por t of

Entry (you’ll need your Passport to cross). This U.S.-Canadian Port of Entry is a day-light only border crossing that sits in the shadow of stately Mount Chopaka, which often is capped with snow well into the spring. Crossing into Canada travelers can either head northwest toward Caw-ston and Keremos or east to Osoyoos.

LoomisCenter of the Many Lakes Recre-ation Area

Located 16 miles northwest of Tonasket or 16 miles southwest of Oroville, the quaint little town of Loomis rests in the center of the “Many Lakes” area. While the town is tiny, the area draws folks from around the state of Washington and the province of British Columbia from the start of fishing season in the spring until the end of hunting season in late fall. Throughout the summer, visitors can

come and enjoy a variety of camping sites along one of the many lakes, or even in the coolness of the local mountains along a meandering stream. Loomis is the center of some of the best fishing and hunting in all of North Central Washington. The trout and bass are all gigantic and the mule deer are abundant. Nearby lakes include Spectacle, Palmer and Whitestone. Other fishing op-portunities abound in the Sinlahekin Wildlife Area at Forde, Connors and Fish lakes, Reflection Pond and Touts Coulee Creek. Chopaka Lake is a well-known fly-fishing-only mountain lake that attracts anglers from throughout the Pacific Northwest.Started in 1889, the first store in Loomis

was opened by Guy Waring. Originally it was called Loomistown in honor of William Allen Loomis, who came to the Okanogan in 1886. Early day cattlemen settled here and in the 1870s, the biggest outfits trailed herds over Snoqualmie Pass to settle. Nearby several silver mines were started, including the famous Palmer Mountain Mine, which at the time had the longest mine tunnel in the state. Even though the town is small, all the ameni-

ties can be found within a few short blocks, and people are welcomed visitors to this lovely little town. Nearby wildlife is abundant

with California Bighorn Sheep and deer that can sometimes be seen strolling through town, black bear and mountain goats can also be spotted, as well as eagles and hawks. Even in the winter, people are drawn to the Loomis area because of the hundreds of miles of snowmobile trails in the moun-tains. If you’re in the area, take the loop and discover the charm of this peaceful area.

There’s lots to do In Ferry County

You can dig for fossils at the rich Stoner-ose fossil beds with the family and go home with a piece of history, fish or swim in one of the area’s many lakes and streams and horseback ride into the for-est, hike the Kettle Crest Trail or one of the other 430 miles of trail in the area. If you’re a camper, the Republic area has 21 camp-grounds around lakes and streams.Something is happening almost every

And you can take a number of scenic drives; see the historic Ranald MacDan-ald grave site, the Ansorge Hotel, cross into Canada to have lunch or visit the shops and sites in downtown Republic. Return a different way just to enjoy the magnificent scenery. In Republic, the Stonerose Interpretive

Center and Fossil Site is one of the few places in the U.S. where visitors can view a collection of 50 million year-old “pho-tographs” of flowers and leaves. That’s because 50 million years ago, during the Eocene Epoch, the area now occupied by Republic lay beneath the waters of an ancient lake. As the lakebed filled with volcanic ash and sediment, leaves, flowers, fish and insects were trapped in the layers of resulting mud. Today the lake is gone, along with the unusual mix of topography and climate that produced plants and animals that haven’t been found together in any other location.At the nearby Boot Hill Fossil Site, pa-

leontologist and amateur fossil hunters alike have the unprecedented opportu-

nity of discovering world class examples of Eocene plant life such as leaves belonging to the rose family, birch fam-ily, maple family and redwood family. A small fee for a permit is required, but the museum’s curator will give fossil hunters instructions on how to best split open the fossil bearing rocks.Located next door to the Stonerose

Interpretive Center is the Republic His-torical Center. Visitors will get the op-portunity to walk through the Kaufman Cabin (the oldest surviving structure in Republic), peruse the extensive collec-tion of Republic’s historical photographs in the nearby historical center, and listen to firsthand accounts of times past from the volunteers who operate the small museum.Between the towns of Republic and

Curlew alongside Highway 21 North is the Antique Car and Truck Museum. The museum provides visitors with the op-portunity to view numerous antique cars, including a 1925 Howard Cooper, one of only four ever built, and a 1926 Yellow Knight, one of the last three known to

exist. There are also several examples of antique farm machinery, as well as a blacksmith shop. The museum opens on Memorial Day from Friday through Monday until Labor Day. The museum, which charges no admission fee, is open from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m.Built in 1903, the historic Ansorge Hotel

County is pristine Curlew Lake. Camp-ers will appreciate the spread-out and grass-covered campsites, some of which have power, water and sewer hook-ups. Curlew Lake is a favorite destination for fishermen, sporting different varieties of trout.The park features 82 camp sites, a

roped-off swimming beach, a boat ramp, a trailer dump and a restroom with hot

showers. A short nature trail has been developed, which leads hikers through the natural Ferry County landscape.The park is located on State Highway

21, nine miles north of the historic mining town of Republic.Ferry County’s economy for many years

was driven by the gold mining industry, as well as a healthy timber industry. Small mining towns sprang up during the gold rush. Some like Curlew, Orient

and Keller still survive, while others, like Toroda, Ferguson and Ferry are only memories. The Colville Indian Reserva-tion also constitutes a vast part of Ferry County.Ferry County’s fortunes have shifted

with the times. Periodic rises of mineral prices still cause excitement and one mine remains a faithful producer of gold ore. Ferry County is a quieter place today than it was in the 1890s, but its history is


Did you know...

Curlew• Curlew was a pick up

point for moonshine that was dropped in the Kettle River during the prohibition days. The tra-dition is still celebrated on the first Sunday in June each year during the Curlew Barrel Derby Days. A barrel is set adrift in the Kettle River at the Canadian border and local citizens bet on when it will reach town.

as rich as the quartz veins that lured the prospectors of 1896. However, with the opening of the new gold mine near Che-saw, the Kettle River Mill is active again, processing ore into gold ingots.Today, many county residents look to

attract visitors to enjoying the abundant natural resources and beauty of the area. Whether for a day picnic or an experi-ence extending for weeks or even years, discovering the old sites and history of Ferry County can truly be an adventure back into time.

The Ansorge Hotel at Curlew, Washington is the only old hotel still standing in Ferry County. It is a wood frame structure with tin siding made to resemble stone, constructed in 1903 when the Great Northern Railroad was just coming into the country and is located adjacent to the tracks. The ground floor contains a lobby, dining room, kitchen and large billiard or game room. Nine bedrooms, one bathroom, and a sitting room comprise the upstairs. Most of the original furniture is on display, as well as dishes, cloth-ing, pictures and numerous memorabilia.

The Ansorge Hotel Museum River Street, Curlew is open from June through September on weekends from 1:00 to 5:00. Tours are available on request.Contact: Judy Thompson 509-779-4741 or Janet Stephens at 509-779-4951

The kitchen displays early day cooking equipment, as well as the originial dishes. The largest room in the hotel has seen many uses. Before prohibition it was a saloon, and had a beautiful back-bar that was subsequently sold. This room was used for billiards, games and cards, and at one time had a soda fountain. Upstairs six bedrooms have been redecorated with original furnishings. Each is complete with a rope fire escape. A sitting room, used as a parlor to entertain guests, features a balcony overlooking a bend in the beautiful Kettle River. One small bedroom has been converted to a 1930's boutique.

The Ansorge Hotel is listed in the National Historic Register. Leo Strassburg, with his wife Emma, was the hotel proprietor for many years. He also served as the town barber. The Lobby has been restored to its original appearance. The furnishings include an old Hexaphone that playes cylinders for only a nickel. In one corner Strassburg's barber chair may be seen, along with his shaving and hair cutting equipment. Visitors may browse through the hotel registers and a large carousel of historic pictures from this area are also on display.

For generations, stress weary Washington families have packed up their flip-flops and tank tops and come to the lake…Lake Chel-an. The resort community is at the foot of the 55-mile long lake, surrounded by rolling hills and serenity. At the head of the lake, the Stehekin Valley is nestled in the heart of the Cascade Mountains. As featured in National Geographic Magazine, this fjord-like setting is accessible only by boat, floatplane or foot, by hiking in from outside the valley. The Lake Chelan area offers an unparal-

leled variety of scenic and recreational ex-periences. While boating, fishing and water sports have long been the most popular pastimes on the lake, the area is becoming well-known for a variety of activities such as agri-tourism, wine tasting, golf, walking, hiking, backpacking, mountain biking, hang gliding and paragliding, as well as winter sports with downhill skiing; and miles of snowmobile, cross-country and snowshoe trails. And of course, there are year-round ac-

tivities like gaming, bowling, shopping and sightseeing. When you are ready to sit back, relax and

take in the sights, many scenic tours are available by char-ter boat, passenger ferry and floatplane. While there is no road to the end of the lake, you can drive along the north shore to the end of the road and see incredible views of the lake. From here you begin to see the dramatic contrast from the azure blue water, orchards and rolling hills in the populated Chelan and Manson re-gion at the foot of the lake to the granite cliffs and snow-covered mountains rising dramati-cally from glacier-green water uplake. Whether you are looking for a place to

play or just plan to relax, Lake Chelan has it all. Come to the lake and make your own memories. Orondo is a small community in Douglas

County at the base of Pine Canyon. Douglas County is bordered on the north and west by the Columbia River and Grand Coulee Dam marks the southeast corner of the county.

The Orondo River Park provides access to the Columbia River, as do Lincoln Rock State Park and Daroga State Park, which are only minutes away.
