The region extends from Cole's Corner in the Tumwater Canyon through the Bavarian Village of Leavenworth and on to the small community of Cashmere. The area is home to numerous wildlife habitats as the landscape changes. It is surrounded by the Wenatchee/Okanogan National Forest and is home to several key locations to explore if you're looking for wildlife: the Lake Wenatchee and Fish Lake area, Leavenworth's Waterfront Park, the Icicle River Valley, a gateway to the Alpine Lakes Wilderness Area and along the Wenatchee riverbanks near Cashmere.
