Wenatchee National Forest Custom Search   Hello, Was wondering if any recreational gold panning would be permissable in any of the small tributarys of the Chiwawa or Little Wenatchee Rivers?  Or any type of recreational prospecting in the Wenatchee National Forest. Thanks for your help.  Bill Hoaglan,  Plain, WA. Says Bill Hoaglan The 1,800 feet of elevation difference at close by Stevens Pass is sheer enjoyment. Stevens Pass boasts 38 feet of beautiful snow yearly on its 37 trails that are served by its 10 good ski lifts. Stevens Pass has 1,125 acres to ski on; 65% of the trails     are beginner and intermediate which is great for learners; 35% of the trails are red and black. On Nason Creek nearby you discover the 8-mile-in-length Berne to Merritt portion of type IV-V whitewater. Only those expert in whitewater kayaking or rafting should endeavor to raft this sweep of Nason Creek. Icicle Creek has a category II-III+(V) part of whitewater close by. The 3.5-mile-from-start-to-finish Rock Island Campground to Ida Creek segment is good to raft.     Map Detailed Map Contact Info Phone, Email, Address, GPS coordinates Campgrounds Nearby List of Nearby Campgrounds Weather Local weather forecast These outdoors activities are available in and near Wenatchee National Forest.   Lakes in and near Wenatchee National Forest Tucquala Lake, Kittitas County, 10 miles away Lake Victoria, Chelan County, 13 miles away Bonnie Lake, King County, 19 miles away   Campgrounds in and near Wenatchee National Forest Lake Susan Jane, Skykomish, 4 miles away French Creek, Ronald, 5 miles away French Creek Campground, Chelan County, 5 miles away Pacific Crest Trail Trailcamp 2468.5 - Mig Lake, Skykomish, 5 miles away Stevens Pass Trailhead, Skykomish, 6 miles away   Public Lands in and near Wenatchee National Forest Lake Wenatchee State Park, Washington, 20 miles away Iron Horse State Park, Washington, 22 miles away Lake Easton State Park, Washington, 25 miles away   Hiking Trails in and near Wenatchee National Forest Lake Michael Trail, Kittitas County , 11 miles away,  20 hiking miles, 2568 feet elevation difference Icicle Trail, Chelan County , 13 miles away, 32.7 hiking miles, 7313 feet elevation difference Davis Peak Lookout Trail, Kittitas County , 14 miles away,  7.4 hiking miles, 4439 feet elevation difference   Whitewater Rivers in and near Wenatchee National Forest Nason Creek, Chelan County , 3 miles away, Class IV-V - 8 miles long (Berne to Merritt) Icicle Creek, Chelan County , 8 miles away, Class II-III+(V) - 3.5 miles long (Rock Island Campground to Ida Creek) Lake Creek, Chelan County , 8 miles away, Class V+ - 2 miles long (along FR 400)   Hotels near Wenatchee National Forest Suncadia Resort, Cle Elum , 23 miles away Sleeping Lady Mountain Resort, Leavenworth , 23 miles away Icicle Village Resort, Leavenworth , 24 miles away Fairbridge Inn Suites Leaven, Leavenworth , 24 miles away Howard Johnson Express Inn - Leavenworth, Leavenworth , 24 miles away   Ski Areas near Wenatchee National Forest Stevens Pass, Washington , 20 miles away, 1800 foot drop, 10 lifts, 37 runs
