Cove Palisades State Park
The Cove Palisades
State Park is a year-round recreational destination for the
entire family. Located in our high desert region, the weather
is sunny and warm in the summer months and chilly but
generally mild in the winter. The park is situated among
towering cliffs that surround beautiful Lake Billy Chinook.
The park features myriad water recreational opportunities, a
full-service campground, store, restaurant, marina and rental
services. Not interested in camping? Rustic lakeshore log
cabins are available. Nature lovers will find nearly 10 miles
of hiking trails that give access to areas rich in wildlife
and splendid scenery.
The park is home to two popular special events: the Lake Billy
Chinook Day in September (a clean-up and festival) and the
annual Eagle Watch in February.
Learn about the unusual and unique attributes of this premier
recreational and natural resource area ... at water level!
Kayak tours are led weekly during the summer, and on select
weekends at other times of the year.
