6Gingko Petrified Forest State Park

This state park on Ginkgo Avenue in Vantage also has a lot to offer travelers.  There’s a lot more than the petrified wood to see.  The property extends over 7,124 acres.  

Here you can see a special interpretive center that features unique outdoor exhibits of petrified wood.  There’s also the popular Trees of Stone Interpretive Trail that includes “20 petrified logs in their original” environment.

But this place is more than exhibits.  Another highlight is the 27,000-foot shoreline on Wanapum Lake.  Here you can enjoy boating, fishing, or swimming.  Spend the night in the neighboring Wanapum Recreation Area.
