Pearrygin Lake

One of the numerous things to do in Winthrop, Washington, is to visit Pearrygin Lake, which is located in the bright Methow Valley on the eastern side of the North Cascades. The 200-acre reservoir's northern bank is bordered by Pearrygin Lake State Park. There are numerous options to enjoy the water at the park's campground.

On the first Friday in April, a boat launch in the East Campground opens for the year. Powerboats, Jet Skis, and fishing rigs are among the boats that use the boat launch. Anyone intending to launch a boat onto the water must have a current boat launch permit.

With a sandy beach and 60-foot dock, the park also offers other activities like swimming and shoreline fishing. With over 170 sites close to the sea, lakeside camping is also accommodated. Two cabins and a vacation home are also available for overnight stays in the state park. The lake is situated in a small, glacially carved valley, facing a forested hillside to the south and an open shrub-steppe environment to the north. It is oriented from northwest to southeast.
