Be blown away by the beauty of Wallace Falls. Located in the enormous Wallace Falls State Park, with nine waterfalls (one that is 265-feet!), local wildlife, coniferous forests and lakeside shorelines, is one of the most amazing places to view nature. See these sights and more along the dozens of recreation trails filling 4,735-acre camping park.

Prepare to be surprised at The Funhouse. A dive bar by day, this Halloween-themed bar and nightlife destination transforms into a live music venue by night. Listen to the music of great local and national bands, relax on the outside patio, shoot a few basketball hoops or test your pinball skills indoors.

Enjoy conservative artworks from the nineteenth century at the Frye Art Museum. This art museum contains a permanent collection of over 230 paintings and sculptures by artists such as Franz von Lenbach, Tim Lowly, Franz Stuck and others. In addition to the displayed art, the museum also contains a sizeable library.

Take in the spirit of the Northwest as you visit the vendors selling all kinds of foods and handmade goods.
