Fields Spring State Park, State park in Asotin County, Washington
Description
Fields Spring State Park is a forested area covering about 828 acres in the Blue Mountains, reaching elevations of about 4,500 feet at Puffer Butte. The land features a dense mix of Douglas fir and white fir trees along with other vegetation that covers the rugged mountain terrain.
History
The park was established in 1930 and received extensive development work through the Works Progress Administration in the following years. This infrastructure work transformed it into a usable space for visitors in the otherwise remote mountain region.
Culture
This location sits along routes historically used by the Nez Perce people for hunting and trade throughout the mountainous region. The area maintained its role as a passageway between different territories.
Practical
The park offers 20 tent spaces for tents and RVs up to about 30 feet long, with restrooms and shower facilities available. The grounds are relatively straightforward to navigate, though you should prepare for mountainous terrain and changing weather conditions.
Did you know?
In the 1970s, a large portion of the tree population had to be removed after a pest outbreak caused widespread damage to the forest. This drastic change shaped how the park looks today and later allowed for replanting with new growth.
