Brewster’s pool, above, features a waterslide. The Columbia River, left, offers a place to open up the throttle.

Brewster offers water sports and more Brewster is the perfect spot for vacationers whose dream is to play on and in the water. The city sits on the bank of the Columbia River, with the Okanogan River upstream and the Methow River downstream. The area offers boating, water skiing, fishing, jet skiing, water bird watching and a place to lie on the grass and enjoy a breeze off the river. An updated public boat launch accommodates dozens of boats, and the river is home to various species of game fish. There’s good fishing all the way from Wells Dam to Chief Joseph Dam, and still more good fishing on Rufus Woods Lake, behind Chief Joseph Dam. Rat Lake, north of town, is a good spot for winter ice fishing. The annual Budweiser Lowrance King Salmon Derby brings anglers to town the first weekend in August; participants can win both prizes and money. Columbia Cove Park sprawls along the riverbank, offering a beach for swimming and splashing, a dock for boats, gazebos for picnics and a playground. The municipal pool has a waterslide and diving boards.

The annual town celebration, Bridgeport Daze, takes place the first weekend in June with a parade, softball, music and plenty of visiting. Visitors can’t miss the fruit orchards and wheat fields that dominate the landscape and provide the basis of the town’s economy. Bridgeport was incorporated 101 years ago and grew up along the riverbank about 20 years before that. Originally it was named Westfield, but that changed when a group of investors from Bridgeport, Conn., bought the townsite.

Bridgeport

Whether the goal is fishing, hiking, wildlife watching or other outdoor fun, Bridgeport is the place. The city sits at the base of Chief Joseph Dam, one of the largest hydropower projects in the world; a visitor center details the region’s history and explains how the hydropower system works. Lake Rufus Woods stretches for about 40 miles behind the dam, and it’s home to great fishing and boating opportunities. Hiking trails, many of them paved, offer views of the dam and Columbia River. For those who like to golf, the privately owned, nine-hole Lake Woods Golf Course is about 10 minutes from town. Bridgeport State Park is located at the end of the road behind the dam; the park boasts camping sites, picnic areas, a boat ramp and swimming beach. There’s a boat ramp across the lake as well, on the same road as the administration offices about three miles from town, along with fishing spots from shore. For campers who prefer to stay in town, Marina Park has spots for RVs, tent camping, plus picnicking, swimming and a boat launch. Anglers know Bridgeport, whether they’re fishing on Lake Rufus Woods or in the Columbia River below the dam. Salmon, trout, steelhead, sturgeon and other sport fish can be

Four cities, each with its own amenities, charms and spectacular scenery, are clustered around Grand Coulee Dam. Coulee Dam, Electric City, Elmer City and Grand Coulee offer full services and amenities, from gas and groceries to a casino and restaurants. Construction of the dam began in 1933; the hydroelectric, flood control and irrigation dam towers 550 feet above the riverbed. A third electricitygenerating powerhouse was completed in 1974. There is enough concrete in the dam to build a four-lane highway from Los Angeles to New York. The project is the largest producer of hydroelectric power in the U.S. Stories of its construction, and a lot more, are told at the visitor center on state Highway 155 just downstream from the dam. It’s open all year; tours are offered in summer. The dam face serves as the screen for the nightly Laser Light Show, presented from May to September, which tells the story of the Columbia River, its geology and history and the dam. The 151-mile pool behind the dam is known as Lake Roosevelt and is famous for its recreation opportunities, including 22 public boat docks, 27 campgrounds, swimming and more. Spring Canyon Park, about two miles east of Grand Coulee on state Highway 174, features a swimming beach, picnic areas, playground equipment and more. The lake is stocked with kokanee (land-locked salmon), walleye, rainbow trout, lake whitefish, yellow perch and white sturgeon, among others. The river waters also fill Banks Lake; Steamboat Rock is the lake’s centerpiece. The lake is about a mile wide and 30 miles long. Northrup Canyon, near Steamboat Rock State Park, is home to watchable wildlife and interesting plants, and a favored nesting spot for bald eagles from mid-November to mid-May.

At the top of the canyon is a five-acre, stream-fed lake stocked with trout and accessible by a walking trail. People who want to see some great scenery can start at Crown Point, about two miles east of the town of Coulee Dam on state Highway 174. The entire area displays the marks of Ice Age floods that carved out the current landscape. The whole area is crisscrossed by trails, ranging from difficult hikes to the wheelchairaccessible paths. A walking tour guides visitors around historical buildings from the dam construction era. All three towns have a full calendar of events all summer long, starting with the Colorama celebration Mother’s Day weekend, www.grandcoulee dam.org. That’s followed by a succession of car shows, powwows, golf tournaments and the Sunbanks Blues Festival in May and September, www.sun banksfestival.com.

Columbia River Road leaves Nespelem near the agency and takes the traveler along the Columbia River and past Omak Lake and northwest to Okanogan and Omak. A roadside marker on state Highway 155 commemorates Chief Joseph and the Joseph Band of Nez Perce, who were pursued into Montana by the U.S. Army from their home in Oregon’s Wallowa Valley in 1877. The Joseph Band eventually resettled in Nespelem. Chief Joseph’s grave is nearby in the Nez Perce Cemetery, which is administered by the Colville Confederated Tribes and is not open

Vintage hydroplanes skim along Lake Osoyoos during the CAN-AM races.

The Oroville area was first settled by whites in the late 1850s. The settlement was first known as “rag town,” but renamed Oro, Spanish for gold, in 1892. It was named Oroville in 1909. The city is located in a high desert area, and agriculture and recreation are among the area’s livelihoods. Numerous streams, lakes and proximity to the Cascade Mountains make the area a favorite for swimming, boating, waterskiing, hiking, hunting, fishing, bicycling, skiing, snowmobiling, snowshoeing and wildlife viewing. There is a growing trail system — including the new Similkameen Trail west of town — and the Osoyoos Lake Veterans Memorial Park, which offers a beach, camping and RV spaces. Four nearby wineries produce unique local wines and a brewery offers local beers. The area also produces apples, pears, grapes, apricots and more. The city offers a variety of motels, eateries and stores. The Depot Museum, located at 1210 Ironwood St., features displays depicting area history.

Downtown Pateros boasts two restaurants, a bakery and bar and grill, along with businesses that offer services and products to anglers and travelers. As downtowns go, Pateros’ is relatively new. It was rebuilt in the early 1960s when portions of the town were relocated because the Columbia rose with the construction of Wells Dam. Pateros began as Ives Landing in the late 1890s. Ives sold out – his wife hated pioneering – and the town was renamed by a Spanish-American War veteran, who remembered a town he’d encountered on his tour of duty in the Philippines. Its history is the subject of a new museum that opened at Pateros City Hall in late April.

The Ferry County Fair is a good old-fashioned event held over Labor Day weekend near Republic. The fairgrounds also offer a historic carousel, housed in a pavilion that can be rented. September brings the Honky Tonk Petanque tournament, and January the city’s Winterfest. The area’s history is displayed through a collection of historical photos and exhibits at the Republic Historical Center. Murals around town also depict area history, and booklets outlining a walking tour of the city offer a history lesson, pointing out historic buildings and outlining events of interest.

Youngsters strain for the lead during Riverfest sack races. A rooster sculpture, left, outside the Riverside Store stands watch while Hoofin’ and Woofin’ participants cross the quiet Main Street.

Tiny town offers a great stop Riverside, a tiny town with a lot of history, is a great place to stop for a bite to eat, a quiet stroll, a bit of shopping or to ponder which direction to head next. In the early 1900s, Riverside was a blossoming town, peaking at a population of 350 and making Omak and Tonasket look tiny. Its success was largely due to its place as the head of riverboat navigation on the Okanogan River. Because of its booming qualities, it hosted the first county fair in 1905. That success didn’t always come without troubles – its new $3,000 drawbridge collapsed in 1905. It lost its bid to be county seat in 1908. Two fires leveled much of the business district in 1916. Once the railroad came through in 1914, it spelled the end for riverboats and Riverside became a quiet town. It now includes a general store, gas station, city park, public fishing, a Western store, antique store, RV park, pawn shop and other amenities. Some historic buildings still stand, such as the old schoolhouse. The 1912 school bell is displayed in a park. In April, Hoofin’ and Woofin’ brings dogs and their humans to town for a fitness walk and fundraiser for a local animal rescue. Every first weekend in August, the town holds Riverfest, with family games, music, a parade, firefighter water battle and more. Several miles outside of Riverside, explorers can visit nature in the Scotch Creek Wildlife Area to the northwest and, to the east, Tunk Valley. Hunting, fishing, camping, horseback riding, photographing, bird watching and hiking are just a few activities that await. A bit farther up Tunk Creek, Crawfish Lake boasts a

Half the lake is bordered by U.S. Forest Service land, and the other by the Colville Indian Reservation.

Tonasket is in an agriculture and forestry area, and home to the Tonasket Ranger District of the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest. The city is a jumping-off point for many recreational activities – hunting, fishing, wild animal observation, horseback riding, boating, bicycling, skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling and more. The Many Lakes area, west of town, offers several lakes with a variety of species for anglers of all types. The city is named after Chief Tonasket of the Okanogan people, who became grand chief of the American Okanogan after the U.S.Canadian border was established in 1846. The Tonasket Kiwanis Club offers an annual Ground Hog Dinner on the first Saturday after Ground Hog Day in February. No, it doesn’t feature little furry animals, but rather sausage made fresh from an old German recipe. There is a flea market and consignment auction in May and a farmers’ market running through the summer and fall months. A skate park competition is offered the third weekend of May at the concrete, inground skate park in Chief Tonasket Park. City parks also offer soccer and baseball/softball fields, a swimming pool, picnicking and a riverside salmon observation platform. The Founders Day Rodeo is featured the first weekend in June, with a celebration for fishing the second weekend in June. The next weekend brings the Father’s Day Fly-

August brings the Tonasket Junior Rodeo and Garlic Festival, followed by the Demolition Derby on Labor Day weekend. The Okanogan Family Faire, a local barter fair and harvest celebration is held east of town in September. Tonasket’s Winterfest is

celebrated the first Friday of December. Nearby Wauconda, east of town on state Highway 20, hosts a Flag Day picnic in June, Sock Hop and Car Show in mid-July, fall pie auction and other activities.

Catch the outdoors and arts Visitors can catch the great outdoors and the arts scene in Twisp and Winthrop. Both are nestled along the Methow River in the North Cascades foothills. Twisp is about nine miles south of Winthrop. Both towns boast multiple arts events and locations, plus a variety of community festivals. Either can serve as a base for forays into the mountains for horseback riding, hiking, river rafting, hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, skiing, bicycling and more. There’s ice skating in the winter and golf in the summer, too. Scenic drives and hikes abound, from Falls Creek Falls to nearby Hart’s Pass, the highest point in the state to which one can drive. Interested in viewing original works? Confluence Gallery and Art Center in Twisp, Winthrop Gallery and others show artwork by both professionals and students.. Want to see some theater? The Methow Valley Theater and Merc Playhouse both feature live performances throughout the year. Upcoming events are listed at www.methowvalleytheater.org and www.mercplayhouse.org. Want to get back to nature? Head out on some hiking or biking trails, such as the Twisp River Trail, Methow Valley Community Trail or the handicapaccessible Blackpine Lake Trail. To cool off on those hot summer days, visit the Wagner Memorial Pool in the Twisp Park. Check out seasonal produce and local products at either town’s farmers’ market. Twisp hosts a Fourth of July celebration, Christmas events and more. Winthrop, an Old West-themed town, was settled in the 1800s, first by trappers and later by gold miners. Founder Guy Waring’s 1891 home and saloon building still stand, now as the Shafer Museum and Town Hall. The rest of the town looks as though it came from the same period, although most of it is much newer. A town ordinance requires an American Old West look, kept by false fronts and board sidewalks. Many events are hosted through the Methow Valley Sport Trails Association, with schedules and information at www.mvsta.com. Feeling rusty with those horseback
