Lyons Ferry State Park

The name Lyons Ferry is associated with the ferry in use in this area for 108 years and operated many of those years by Dan Lyons. The ferry served as a crossing of the Snake River for the Mullen Road constructed in 1858. Settlers and the Army used the ferry to access the Palouse country. The ferry, one of the few latter day ferries propelled by river current, is currently berthed in the park.

The park features boating, camping, fishing, hiking, picnicking, swimming and water skiing. The area is also excellent for geological exploration

The Washington State Parks system includes more than 125 developed parks and covers about a quarter million acres.
