he Coulee Corridor National Scenic Byway is approximately 150 miles between Omak and Othello in north central Washington and includes many loops and connecting spur routes.

murals in many of the towns can lead visitors to colorful illustrations of significant events, activities, people and places. Consider attending a Pow-Wow in Soap Lake or Nespelem, or town festivals and sporting events. Chambers of Commerce can direct visitors to local sights and events.

Varied land and water sites will appeal to people interested in learning about history, geology, nature, and agriculture. Car touring, hiking, biking, boating, swimming and fishing are some of the diverse recreational activities. Consider taking a self guided tour. Visitors may get involved in activities at indoor and outdoor classrooms, parks, and interpretive centers scattered around the area

View unparalleled scenery and participate in limitless recreational opportunities on or around waterways along the Coulee Corridor. Columbia Plateau and Okanogan Highlands geology and shrub-steppe habitat ecosystems are well illustrated along the length of the Coulee Corridor. Visit intersecting segments of the Ice Age Floods National Geologic Trail which overlaps some of the Coulee Corridor.

Regional cultural history is displayed at museums up and down the corridor in nearly every town. Take walking or driving tours of historic districts or enjoy the views on urban and rural trails.Â Finding downtown

Ice Age floods stories are vividly displayed at the Dry Falls Interpretive Center south of Coulee City. Learn about the unique mineral qualities of Soap Lake. Check out the massive concrete structures that are

part of the Columbia Basin Irrigation Project. Visit Grand Coulee Dam and go south, following the paths of ice age flood waters in and around lakes and drainages throughout the corridor. Follow canals and waterways from Grand Coulee Dam, which provides water to irrigate nearly 700,000 acres of agricultural crops in a multi-county area to the desert oasis in the south. In 2019, watch for the installation and dedication of five strategically located Coulee Corridor sponsored community kiosks in the towns of Electric City, Coulee City, Soap Lake, Warden, and Othello.

the Scablands. The northern part of the refuge is a

combination of cliffs, canyons, lakes, and the remains of lava flows. This area is called the Drumheller Channels and was designated a National Natural Landmark in 1986.

and ancient lakes and filled the valley with deep, fertile soil enriched by volcanic deposits. Today’s

farmers grow an amazing variety of crops including

ago when the area was inundated with rushing water from the glacial Lake Missoula as ice damming the lake melted. The caves are thought to have been used by the Sinkiuse (sing-kee-ooz)

Indians for habitat and storage. The Lake Lenore fish hatchery is across the road. Lake Lenore is home to the Lahontan Trout, a rare (not native) to the area trout, and offers great fly fishing during the early spring season. Rest rooms are across the highway at the fish hatchery.

Columbia Basin. Created by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation to store water for irrigation of the Columbia Basin, the reservoir starts just east of the city of Grand

Coulee and extends to Coulee City. The reservoir is filled with water that is pumped up 280 feet from

Lake Roosevelt through giant tubes. Banks Lake Is

renowned for its great fishing, boating, swimming, and wildlife viewing. The marina offers great walleye fishing and annual bass tournaments. couleecorridor.com

Over the last two million years, large parts of North

About 20,000 years ago, a large finger of ice advanced into Idaho forming an ice dam at what is

now Lake Pend Oreille. It blocked the Clark Fork River

the heart of North Central Washington. Situated on the Okanogan Valley floor, city limits straddle the Okanogan River, which forms the western boundary of the Colville Indian Reservation. The Greater Omak Area has been both home and gathering place to the

local native community. Formerly known as ‘Omache,’ Omak was first settled in the 1800s. Homesteaders

and settlers arrived, and began to prospect and farm. In 1907, Mr. Ben Ross laid out twenty acres of his farm

into lots, which were rapidly purchased for a mere $25.00 a piece. Omak became an incorporated city

in 1911 and Mr. Ross short-platted a final 14 acres in

1924, completing the transition from farm to community.

OMAK STAMPEDE MUSEUM (509) 826-1935 410 E. 2nd Ave Omak, WA 98841 Open Memorial Day weekend - Labor Day weekend Features memorabilia and historical items spanning

the years since the Stampede’s inception in 1933. Renowned local artist Smoker Marchand created the

52. NAMING OF THE ANIMALS MONUMENT This monument, created by the Colville Tribal Artist’s

Association, is located near the Omak Visitor’s Center. The tiles, created by the school children on

the reservation, represent their interpretations of the story “Coyote and the Colville,” a book published by St. Mary’s Mission and John Andrist in June 1971.
