Description: 640 acres on the south shore of Potholes Reservoir, a wetland oasis in the midst of the desert scablands. The park adjoins the Columbia National Wildlife Refuge, a waterfowl haven, but on nearby BLM lands, you can see sand dunes, lava flows, and coulees. Besides bird watching, visitors enjoy swimming from the sandy beaches, waterskiing, jet skiing, and boating. Fishing for bass, bluegill, bullhead, trout, and walleye. Lake levels vary due to irrigation draw downs.

The campground has 121 sites, half of which have full RV hookup. A group area holds up to 50 campers, and contains an excellent trout & bass fishing stream.
