Douglas Creek

Douglas Creek | Washington

In the dry sage-steppe uplands of Eastern Washington, Douglas Creek forms a unique riparian oasis. In the basalt canyon, songbirds and raptors perch in cottonwoods, and the road paralleling the creek passes beaver ponds and cascading pools.

The scenic Douglas Creek canyon is known for its hunting, fishing, hiking, and dispersed camping experiences, as well as swimming in the deep pools and waterfalls at its south end. A great variety of plants, animals and birds make their homes in or near the lush oasis created by this year-round stream. Start planning your visit to this one-of-a-kind Washington wonder!
