This is where you can unwind in nature without going too far from town. Walk the trails, go people-watching as you dip your feet in the Wenatchee River, be on the lookout for eagles and ospreys. For an even quieter setting, cross over the bridge to Blackbird Island.
Float on the pristine Wenatchee using a tube, paddleboard, or kayak. Lessons provided.
The park at the center of Leavenworth is usually the gathering place for everyone in between their shopping spree. Live music is performed on weekends and kids would roll down the green lawn in summer or sled down in the winter, or just watch the world go by at the Front Street tourist corridor.
