Yakima Sportsman State Park, State park with camping facilities in Yakima County, United States.
Yakima Sportsman State Park spans 266 acres along the Yakima River floodplain with deciduous trees, wetlands, and ponds set within irrigated green space. The park serves as a water-fed oasis in the surrounding semi-arid landscape.
The Yakima Valley Sportsman's Association developed the area in the early 1940s for game management before transferring it to state ownership in 1945.
The Juan A. Alvarez Outdoor Living Classroom allows visitors to explore wetlands from an observation pier while walking on accessible nature trails.
The park offers 30 tent spaces, 37 utility spaces, restrooms, showers, and picnic shelters for visitors. A Discover Pass is required for vehicle entry.
More than 140 bird species inhabit this refuge, and scattered clay-pigeon trap remnants across the grounds reveal its past as a sporting shooting area.
