Camping

There are 96 standard campsites and 41 full hook up sites that can be reserved in advance. Maximum site length is 65 feet with limited availability. Six restrooms, 12 showers and one dump station are located nearby.  All campsites have fire pits and do not have tent pads. One group camp is available for tent camping only and can host up to 75 people. If you're planning to camp during the summer, we highly recommend making reservations.

This area can have heavy winds so be prepared with the right gear. The water at sites 1-31 may be turned off due to weather any time after Oct. 1. and these sites close on Nov. 1. You can get your winter water supply from the contact station.

Boating

There are two boat launches, 42 reservable moorage slips and 680 feet of dock. To launch your boat, make sure you have an annual launch permit or combination of a Discover Pass and daily launch permit. You can purchase a $7 daily launch permit in the park.

Moorage slip reservations are available April 15 to Sept. 15 and we suggest making a reservation during the busy summer months. 

The boat launch is located at Latitude: 47° 35' 46.67" N (47.5963) and Longitude: 119° 21' 35.29" W (-119.3598).

Water activities

Stand up paddle boarding and kayaking are fun ways to get out on the water. Park Lake has a lively, social atmosphere while Deep Lake offers up a more tranquil and remote experience. Try catching trout for dinner in Dry Falls Lake.

Hiking

Hike along 15 miles of trails that wind through sage-scented hills and along tabletop cliffs with panoramic views.

Golfing

Take in expansive desert views while you play nine-hole golf at Vic Meyers Golf Course located inside the park. The 18-hole mini golf course features landscaping with native plants and is perfect for families and kids.

Interpretive activities

Step inside the Dry Falls Visitor Center to learn how Ice Age floods created this park's dramatic landscape. Call (509) 632-5214 to find out seasonal hours and schedule a tour.

Retreat Center

Camp Delany Retreat Center is a unique facility located in Sun Lakes-Dry Falls State Park in the Grand Coulee area of the Columbia Basin. This desert oasis provides groups with warm, sunny days and clear, crisp stargazing at night.
