It is very beautiful and amazing geology! Nice hiking, swimming fishing, camping and hot showers. There is also fly fishing lessons and boating. Visitor center is only open 3 days a week but hopefully more days soon. It has detailed exhibit explaining the remarkable geology of the breathtaking view. There is also a concession with reportedly the best huckleberry ice cream in Washington and I can vouch for that!

Great inexpensive way to visit this area. (**Deep Lake has a trail to cliff jumping!) Paddle boat, canoe and boat rentals are reasonably priced. Weekends during the summer need reservations in advance. Mid-week is usually available anytime. Picnic sites on the lake fill up quickly. Arrive early (before 9:30am) for a good choice. Can be over 100° at times during July and August.

Great park. Decently maintained. Amazing staff & rangers. Upper rv loops can get pretty windy .. can wreck your tent/sunshade/awning if left out. Beautiful scenery. Cell service is spotty at best.

I love going here. It's been a few years. Google maps takes you to the bottom of the falls. You can drive all the way to the end. You want to be aware low, clearance cars CANNOT make this trip. Some of the road is paved, but most is off- road, dirt road with many large rocks that need to be straddled or navigated around. The visitor center is above off the main road instead of turning to go down into the canyon with the lakes.

Very interesting stuff. Creek view area with explanations of what you're seeing. Lots of parking. It's a place to go if you're not in the long walks

Great stop during your road trip, the visitor center is well staffed with friendly people, the bathrooms are clean. The view is amazing.

Renegade 38ft with Jeep in tow - Site E10 - FHU 50A - 2 nighter - beautiful area and park. Sites were not full so no one either side. In front was an old hippie in a toy hauler and a Speedo. Can't unsee. Now, mosquitoes. Bring weight belts for small children & pets so the mosquitoes can't carry them off. Seriously bad. We ordered a 30 sec pop up screen house since we camped here. Gave up on being outside. Grand Coulee Dam & the visitor center near Dry Falls are must see. Small casino, 12 Tribes Coulee Dam Casino, made a donation. We camped at Sun Lakes-Dry Falls State Park in a Motorhome.

We drove in for the day to explore the area and have a picnic. The whole park was very clean, even the restrooms. Cool landforms all around that are specific to this area. Lots of marmots and seagull-type birds who really wanted our lunch.

Great site to visit! Highly recommend. You'll be blown away. The size of the original waterfall must have been so amazing in its day!

When we first heard about this park, it was hard to picture what would be attractive about a waterfall without any water. But once you get to see this living geology lesson in person, it's easy to consider this a must-see if you're in the area. The visitor center has great informative panels, 3D representations of what you're looking at, and friendly, helpful staff.

Amazing geology, beautiful scenery, but badly worn trails. If you come here to hike, be ready to improvise. Some of the map hiking trails, especially on the west side of the Butte, are badly overgrown. Others don't seem to exist at all.

Sun Lake-Dry Falls SP was once the largest waterfall in Eastern Washington from the last Ice Age. Now, all you see of the dry waterfall is a huge hole in the ground like Grand Canyon w/ water on the bottom. Those waters are lakes and there are roads down below that you can drive on. The visitor center is really neat too. It looks like it's suspended up in the air by concrete slabs. You enter from the back. FREE to look around & drive down to the bottom. Go up the road & turn left. We saw Deep Lk, Dry Falls Lk, Park Lk, & Perch Lk. Pretty cool. Hope you can visit one day.

This place is amazing year round. Summer is a great place to share with children. Winter it looks amazing looking down at frozen lake & snow on hills.

Ever wondered what Niagara Falls would look like without water spilling over it? Well, probably not but if you want to see a cool freak of nature and an awesome place to take a picture or two, Dry Falls canyon is one of the places to stop on your tour of Washington. If you also have a bent for some good camping, Sun Lakes State Park is right next door. The visitor's center and viewpoint is high up from Dry Falls lake and there is a catwalk that goes out around 25 ft over the cliff for your photos. You can also snap pictures from inside the visitor's center.

Stunning! Fantastic view from the visitors center (which was closed). There is a food truck there that has the most amazing food ever! Then 5steps away is an ice cream stand, that has huckleberry ice cream. Mmmm Wonderful food amazing view, doesn't get much better.

This is Washington's little Grand Canyon, it's beautiful. The visitor center is currently closed but it was worth stopping by to see the magnificent view. I would recommend closely watching your kids though, as there aren't any real Barriers to keep someone from running off the cliff!

Was once the world's largest waterfall previous the ice age flooding which carved out what we see now as "dry falls". So beautiful and well worththe stop

Unbelievable! This is like a mini grand canyon. Imagine a waterfall that was once 30 times larger than Niagara falls. The visitor center was fascinating and uniquely displayed the history of the falls. This place is truly a gem among Washington's tourist attractions!

Ghetto camping! Drove in and left. Campsites are so close together that you may as wel be in a sardine can. Noisey, stinky and disgusting.
