Overview

A brief introduction to Steamboat Rock State Park

Steamboat Rock State Park is a 3,522-acre (1,425 ha) Washington state park located near the north end of Banks Lake in the Grand Coulee. The park takes its name from the landscape's dominating feature, Steamboat Rock, a basalt butte that rises 800 feet (240 m) above the lake which nearly completely surrounds it. The butte's plateau covers more than 600 acres (240 ha) and was used by nomadic Native American tribes and by early settlers. During the last ice age, the monolith stood as an island in the new bed of the Columbia River where it had been diverted by ice dams. Once the dams burst creating massive floods and the Scablands, the Columbia returned to its original course, leaving Steamboat Rock as a prominent feature of the dry Grand Coulee.

Camper reviews for Steamboat Rock State Park

No great beach or good water access

Best to have a boat and an RV on the massive campground. Sites were big, no privacy, washrooms were adequately clean since most used their own in their RVs. We stayed one night on our way through. It was adequate.

Something for everyone!

This has become our new favorite park! Bring your paddle boards, kayaks, boats, bikes, hiking poles, binoculars, kites, and fishing poles! Spectacular views and spacious sites make this an ideal park. And go visit Grand Coulee Dam one day too!
