Yakima Sportsman State Park, State park with camping facilities in Yakima County, United States.
The 266-acre park stretches along the Yakima River floodplain, featuring deciduous trees, wetlands, and ponds within an irrigated green space.
The Yakima Valley Sportsman's Association developed the area for game management in the early 1940s before transferring it to state ownership in 1945.
The Juan A. Alvarez Outdoor Living Classroom provides educational opportunities through a wetland observation pier and accessible nature trails.
The park maintains 30 tent spaces, 37 utility spaces, restrooms, showers, and picnic shelters, requiring a Discover Pass for vehicle entry.
More than 140 bird species inhabit this desert oasis, with clay-pigeon trap remnants scattered throughout the grounds marking its sporting heritage.
