Kanaskat/Palmer State Park
Green River Gorge State Park - Conservation Area

A natural forest setting on the banks of the Green River at the upstream end of the Green River gorge makes this a popular put-in for kayakers and rafters seeking whitewater thrills and adventure. This is water for the experienced whitewater enthusiast only and definitely not for the beginner or casual rafter.

The Green River is usually one of the top ten steelhead rivers in Washington. Park activities include picnicking, hiking, and wildlife viewing.

The Washington State Parks system includes more than 125 developed parks and includes about a quarter million acres. To make a reservation at more then 60 Washington state parks, contact Washington State Parks from May 15 to Sept. 15.
