Campbell Park

Campbell Park in Ione provides a convenient launch point for accessing the Pend Oreille River, a major waterway flowing north through northeastern Washington. The site is part of the Pend Oreille River Water Trail system, which offers paddlers and boaters multiple access points, day-use areas, and overnight camping options along the river. The nearby Edgewater Campground offers reservable camping for those planning extended trips.

The Pend Oreille River is a substantial waterway—141 miles long with an average flow of over 26,000 cubic feet per second and moderate gradient of 2.1 feet per mile. Paddlers should be prepared for a major river environment with moderate current and velocity. Multiple launch points are available along the river at Ione, Cusick, and Newport, allowing for flexible trip planning. The area offers scenic surroundings and opportunities for swimming and day-use recreation at the park itself.

For detailed information about current conditions, water trail maps, amenities, and seasonal access updates, consult the official Pend Oreille River Water Trail maps or contact local management agencies before your visit. Be aware that some nearby facilities like Grandview Boat-in Camp may have seasonal closures or temporary restrictions.
