Welcome

Your home base in Central Washington

Crescent Bar is an ideal base for concerts at the nearby Gorge Amphitheatre, tasting at award-winning local wineries, or hiking, biking and climbing in Ancient Lakes and Frenchman Coulee.

Owned by Grant County PUD, the recreation area finished a major renovation in 2018. Give us a call to find out what's new.

With two boat ramps on and off Crescent Bar Island, the remodeled marina offers first-come, first-served day-use docks and the only on-water fueling station around. Check the Grant PUD interactive map for launch access and river levels before you head down.

Walk the riverside trail for morning strolls and bird watching. Reserve a shelter at Riverbend or Chinook Park for $50/day (groups under 35).
