Waterfront Park


Tucked out of view but surprisingly close, this is Leavenworth's access to the Wenatchee River. Wander down 9th St and follow the leafy path over a footbridge and onto Blackbird Island, where you can catch a glimpse of Sleeping Lady Mountain ringed by foliage. Interpretive signs furnish the route and help explain local plant and animal life.
