Hydrologic Outlook issued April 10 at 4:30PM PDT by NWS Pendleton OR

April 10th, 4:30 PM — 8:00 PM

ESFPDT Moderate rain this weekend in the Washington Cascades and northern Blue Mountains combined with snowmelt from above normal temperatures will lead to river rises this weekend and early next week. Most rivers are currently running at low levels and the increased streamflows will not be a problem. However, the Naches River at Cliffdell and at Naches are expected to rise above Action Stage early Saturday through Monday. The Grande Ronde River at Troy is expected to rise but stay barely below Action Stage Monday through Tuesday morning. Only localized minor flooding is expected. Please monitor the latest river forecasts from the National Weather Service for additional information.

About

Windy Point Campground is located along the banks of the Tieton River in Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, situated in the stunning Northern Cascade Range. The campground features 15 single-family sites with back-in parking spurs ranging from 21 to 37 feet, accommodating smaller RVs and trailers up to 22 feet. Hard-packed interior roads provide reliable access throughout the season. The Tieton River provides excellent whitewater paddling opportunities, and the campground is a popular parking and take-out location for river rafters. Anglers will find good fishing along the river, while hikers can access several notable trails including Frost Mountain Lookout Trail, Keenan Meadows Trail, and Grey Rock Trail. The surrounding wilderness areas offer thousands of pristine acres for backcountry exploration. During winter months when the campground is closed for camping, the area remains popular for skiing, snowshoeing, and snowmobiling. The campground sits at an elevation where visitors can expect clear, sunny weather in summer and snowy conditions in winter. Highway 12 provides direct access to the site, making it convenient for both day use and overnight stays during the operating season.

Directions

From Naches, take Highway 12 west for 4.4 miles to the intersection with State Route 410. Turn left at the intersection, staying on Highway 12. Travel 8 miles to the campground on the left.
