Description Suggest change

Just outside the parking area, you will find a variety of rocks and lines that provide excellent warming up/cooling down. The area gets crowded as the day ages seeing as there are restrooms, picnic benches and easy water access right there. Definitely worth checking out while in the area.

Getting There Suggest change

From Leavenworth, you are going to drive about 2 miles heading west from icicle creek. It will be the second picnic parking area (the one with the outhouses).
