Kanaskat-Palmer State Park

Kanaskat-Palmer State Park is a protected natural area along the Green River in Washington State. The park features dense forests, multiple hiking trails through Pacific Northwest landscapes, and spaces for various recreational activities.

The area was once a center for mining activities that shaped the region's economic development. The park was later established to protect this natural landscape and preserve it for future generations.

The name comes from two nearby towns that shaped the area's identity over time. People use this space today to connect with the outdoors and enjoy what the region has to offer.

The park offers various stations for picnicking, hiking, and other activities distributed across the grounds. Access is available daily, but visitors should plan to leave before sunset.

A section of the Green River within the park features fast-moving rapids that appeal to experienced paddlers. This challenging water section draws people seeking river adventures.
