Daroga State Park, State park on Columbia River in Chelan County, US
Daroga State Park sits along the Columbia River with camping grounds, boat access points, sports facilities, and walking paths spread throughout its grounds. The park's layout allows visitors to pursue water-based activities or explore trails on land.
The land was originally an orchard until the construction of Rocky Reach Dam in the early 1980s led to its transformation into a public park. This shift changed the land's purpose from farming to recreation.
The name Daroga comes from the initials of three brothers - David, Robert, and Grady - whose family grew peaches on this land for many years.
The park has campsites with electrical and water connections, simpler tent spots, and communal facilities like restrooms and showers. Two boat launch ramps make it easy to put watercraft into the river.
The park sits in the Channeled Scablands region where desert-like terrain meets direct river access. This unusual blend gives visitors a rare place to combine dry-land activities with genuine water adventure.
