Hiking

Echo Ridge Trail System contains almost 25 miles of trails intertwined with roads. Originally designed for Nordic skiing and snowshoeing in the wintertime, hiking and mountain biking are popular activities spring through fall on Echo Ridge trails. There are wide, easy trails suitable for all ages, and highly technical single track trails for the more adventurous. You will travel over open ridge tops though a young, emerging forest recovering from a 1968 wildfire. Expect to see great views of Lake Chelan, the Stewart Range, Okanogan Highlands, and Columbia Plateau.

Trail difficulty varies from easy trails to most difficult, but most trails are suitable for children. Open only to hikers, mountain bikers and horses, no motor bikes are allowed on trails.
