Nolte State Park, State park near Cumberland, United States.
Nolte State Park is a recreational area built around Deep Lake with hiking trails through dense forest near Green River Gorge. The park includes a fishing pier, sandy beach area, and a simple boat launch where visitors can bring small watercraft.
The park was established in the early 1970s when a local resident donated land to Washington State. What had been a private resort area became a public recreation space for the surrounding region.
The park serves as a gathering place for local fishing enthusiasts who come for the variety of fish species in the deep water. This quiet setting among trees has made it a cherished retreat for people seeking to escape from nearby towns.
Vehicle access requires a pass, but visitors can enter on foot or by bicycle for free. The pathways are well-maintained and most areas are easy to walk through without difficulty.
The lake reaches significant depths in some areas, creating ideal conditions for migratory bird species that rest here during their seasonal journeys. Few visitors realize how important this deep water is as a stopover point for thousands of birds.
