July 8, 2024 Construction Update:
The main entrance off State Highway 44/State Street has closed for the installation of a new water line and subsequent paving. Visitors can expect to use the secondary entrance off Hatchery/Linder roads until early October, when the main entrance should reopen permanently, and the Hatchery entrance will close.
Note: The completed campground will not impact trail areas, this is only temporary while work is being done. Thank you!
The park’s water slide will remain closed and is scheduled to be removed later this year. Originally constructed in 1983, it has been idle since 2023 due to equipment failures, which now make it unsafe to operate. Fixing the equipment will cost too much to be feasible, given the age of the structure.
Park management is evaluating alternative uses for the space once the waterslide is removed.
Historic Building Renovations:
The park will also be working on historic building renovations. Please be mindful of workers in the area.
Eagle Island State Park in mid-2022 enacted a new policy regarding dogs off-leash and has designated an area and trails that are open to off-leash dogs that are under the demonstrated control of their owners. Click here for details.

July 29, 2024: Due to unhealthy air quality and per order of the Department of Environmental Quality, we will be implementing an open burn ban at Dworshak, Winchester, McCroskey, and Hells Gate State Parks. This means no campfires, charcoal, or gas fire rings. You can still use gas cookstoves.
Thank you for your understanding!
