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!
