Sun Lakes-Dry Falls State Park is a 4,027-acre camping park with 73,640 feet of freshwater shoreline at the foot of Dry Falls. Dry Falls is one of the great geological wonders of North America. Carved by Ice Age floods that long ago disappeared, the former waterfall is now a stark cliff, 400 feet high and 3.5 miles wide. In its heyday, the waterfall was four times the size of Niagara Falls. Today it overlooks a desert oasis filled with lakes and abundant wildlife. The park’s dramatic landscape was formed by Ice Age floods that swept through the area 15,000 years ago. The park and the interesting exhibits at Dry Falls Visitor Center offer many opportunities for people to learn about this unusual landscape. Special programs, hikes, talks and classroom visits are available by appointment, through the visitor center, (509) 632-5214.

Park history The park stands at the foot of one of the greatest geological wonders in North America. Carved by Ice Age flood and known as “Dry Falls,” this natural monument is the site of a staffed visitor center. The surrounding area is full of beautiful natural formations. Sun Lakes was originally called Dry Falls but was renamed at the request of then Lt. Governor, Vic Myers, as being descriptive of the area. In 1998, there was a Commission action to restore the words “Dry Falls” officially back into the park name. Sun Lakes-Dry Falls State Park was acquired in 15 parcels beginning in 1933 and ending in 2002. The parcels were acquired from the Bureau of Land Management, Department of Natural Resources and private ownership.

Overnight accommodations The park features 151 standard campsites and 40 utility spaces with a maximum site length of 65 feet (may have limited availability). Campsites do not have tent pads. All campsites have fire circles. Visitors should be prepared for the possibility of heavy winds. Reservations are available April 15 through Sept. 15 and are highly recommended for the summer months. To make a reservation, visit online at www.parks.state.wa.us/reservations or call (888) CAMPOUT or (888) 226-7688. The park provides a group camp for tents only, the camp accommodates up to 75 guests. Fees vary with size of the group. To reserve the group camp, call (888) CAMPOUT or (888) 226-7688.
