Situated between the south end of a scenic glacial lake and the towering peaks of the Wallowa Mountains, Wallowa Lake State Park is an ideal base camp for wilderness treks and watersports fun. Wallowa Lake campground offers year-round camping and a seasonally open marina. The large day-use area along the lake features a beach, spots for fishing, picnic tables and two reservable picnic areas (one covered). The park continues a mile upriver at the seasonally open Little Alps Day-use Area, located between the east and west forks of the Wallowa River. This quiet area has picnicking along the river and access to the Wallowa Lake Trailhead, gateway to the Eagle Cap Wilderness Area.
