My son had to use the restroom and I seen they had restrooms inside. So I took him in to use it and as I was talking with my wife that I would like to take the boys for a ride on the carousel sometime. Suddenly this old lady that works there told us to use the restrooms outside that the ones are for paying customers. As someone that doesn’t know the area I thought it was rude of that lady to practically kicking us out of the place. If you don’t want people using your restrooms maybe you should put a sign up. Restrooms for paying customers only. It’s the proper way to tell people. Anyways, I changed my mind about taking my boys there with an unprofessional staff.

My little guy was unable to ride the ride with my older son, it was incredibly busy and we drove over an hour to come just to turn around. I was so sad to find the information when we got there and not anywhere posted online. The staff was incredibly friendly and sweet. The rating is not a reflection of them but rather a reflection of the lack of information provided anywhere to make an appropriate judgement before driving so far. It was a beautiful ride and had very kind staff. Would have been enjoyable had I known everything in advance. We attempted to call ahead but they were unavailable to answer questions. We took our chances and were sad to find we couldn't ride. That's okay. Maybe another time.

The gentleman running the carousel were amazing. They were so friendly, kind and had a wonderful spirit about them. They went above and beyond making every family and child’s experience truly magical. I cannot say enough wonderful things about that team.

The staff are truly some of the kindest friendliest people we have ever met, I wish I would have caught their names, but they were too busy making sure we had an amazing visit. The way they interact with you will make you feel like a kid again, and I’m so glad the kind gentleman running the ride convinced me to ride with my son. We will definitely be visiting any time we’re in the area, and recommending that everyone else do the same.

What a lovely place to visit! An indoor, beautiful, antique carousel that is over 100 years old. It looks an operates like new. The staff were all so kind and friendly. How refreshing that was! The children who think they’re just a bit too big to enjoy may be surprised to find themselves having fun trying to capture a brass ring. :)

Always a great time. They take such care of the carousel 🎠 it is always clean and pristine. The staff is always friendly and make the time enjoyable. The TCs is lucky to have this gem to enjoy.

Fun for the little ones in summer you can rent bikes. They gave a party room and a snack bar they do all sorts of special events here easiest way to find them is to watch their facebook page. During the summer they do a food truck event. There is a concession stand to buy food and drinks if you get hungry or thirsty in the carosel or the park.

The wife and I stopped here while enjoying the evening after dinner visiting Richland. Great park with lots of paved access for wheelchairs and mobility devices. Easy to get near the water. Even at night it was mostly well lit. Certainly an interesting dichotomy with the fancy river cruise boat docked at one end and the homeless resources van at the others. The restrooms were ROUGH and smelled like cheap weed but the overall park was clean and well maintained. We even banged around on the little precision garden next to the playground and it was nice. Lots of folks playing pickle ball and volleyball and the courts were well lit. Totally worth a stop and the history of this land is cool too with the connection to the Manhattan project. On a side note it was nice to see a publicly accessible AED in the parking lot with lots of lights directing you to it.

In town for Art in the Park. Parking was NUTS, but the park is huge and awesome with tons of cool toys and things to do. Plus hundreds of vendors. Will be back next year. Awesome job Richland Parks and Rec team!!

It's a king-sized park that runs along the river. On a hot day it's a fun place to swim. Huge shade trees, green grass, squirrels, and a paved walkway that runs throughout the park. Picnic tables, benches, and really fun looking kids Playgrounds - and there's a wading pool too.

Howard Amon Park is a very large and versatile park with so much to offer, especially for families with children. The playground area is expansive—kids could spend hours here exploring and playing, which is always a good sign (and might even mean an early bedtime afterward!). There’s even a small rock climbing wall where little ones can start learning to climb in a safe environment. At the moment, the water pool is under construction and won’t reopen until summer 2026, but there’s still plenty to enjoy. The park also has a nice little beach area along the Columbia River, perfect for fishing if that’s your thing, though I personally wouldn’t recommend swimming there. The grounds are beautiful, with wide grassy spaces, lots of trees (great for hanging up a hammock), and plenty of shaded spots to relax. There are also picnic areas available to rent for gatherings and special occasions. Overall, this is one of the most robust and well-rounded parks I’ve ever visited—perfect for families, events, or just enjoying the outdoors.

We love this park! One of the best parks in the USA in my opinion! Love vending here for Art in the Park festival with my business THE WAVY BUNCH! Lots of shade, fun playgrounds, soft grass & great swimming!

I truly enjoyed my time at the park. It was snowing, very cold, deserted, and so beautiful. The world was hushed with snow. The only sounds were the birds chattering on the river. I look forward to seeing the sunrise next time I visit. Do be aware that I spotted a rare venomous tundra squirrel. Don't turn your back to it and show no fear as it can sense such things.

This whole place is beautiful. The wading pool is my son’s absolute favorite. The boat is beautiful. The water is beautiful. The park is nice and clean.

Beautiful place for a hike. Cool little fishing spot. Great picnic areas.

There are houses right next to the Hat Rock. There are also picnic tables in a park nearby.

In all honesty we took a ride to this park on our own Lewis and Clark Expedition starting in St. Louis. So we did very little at the park. We spent about 45 minutes taking pictures of Hat Rock and picnicking for lunch. This is a lovely well kept park . The picnick area has ample parking, nice clean picnic tables many in shade. This would be a fun park to explore as it does have a marina. What we saw we liked very much.

Take a support team but I swam across the river and back here about 2 miles. Do not attempt this without people who care if you live in boats and kayaks or paddleboards. When I learn to swim better I want to try a distance swim without fins and hand paddles.

I looked around and didn't see a restroom. There was a note about starting to charge to visit in October. I don't think I'll go back.

It's a cool place for sure. I went during winter so it wasn't green and the bathroom was closed. However it is still a fun little hike to see the hat shaped rock and read about Lewis and Clark and how the rock was formed.. stop by and see for yourself..

One of those truly magical places. It is still basically wild but has a ton of history and some serious variety of nature. There is recently a suspected arson fire that destroyed quite a bit of wilderness but it's already regenerating just like it should. I did the hike from the Lewis and Clark trailhead Up to hat rock. Along the way you'll see some weird old things I'm pretty sure it's remnants of a old train depot and the foundation ,a bread Baking oven ,a stove And many old rusted remnants of the past. As you walk along you'll see animal paths coinciding with human paths as well as the old railroad grade. Work your way up to hot rock and you'll see an amazing view from the top. One of the best sunrises and sunsets can be seen in this area. Please pick up after yourself not many people will and it becomes a problem if things get chucked over and over and over. Also pack it out if you can instead of overloading dumpsters and making your problem somebody else's problem. I know all of this sounds hippie but we just need to do our part. If you're a strong swimmer there's an enclosed Swim area but you also can venture beyond and go out to the small island not too far. Don't be safe and you might be sorry ,be safe and you'll do much better. There are 2 campsites that are free but you have to reserve them it seems to be fairly difficult to get ahold of the agency in charge. Also be aware that this is rattlesnake country and they come out at night, so protect yourself. They don't want to hurt you ,they're just looking for a warm place to sleep. There are wetlands and scrub brush trees rocks animals just about everything in ecosystem needs. Go experience it. This is real Washington!

The "Horse Experience" was so wonderful. Riding is so much fun, but there is a ton of enjoyment to be had grooming the horses, learning how they communicate, and communicating with them in the ring! I highly recommend this experience. I took my nearly 97-year-young grandma and she enjoyed grooming her horse so much. What a good day. Teresa is so generous and it is obvious she cares deeply about her horses. I'm grateful she offers all of us a chance to join in.

We had a wonderful experience! The horses were calm and easy to manage and we learnt a lot about the area.

Emily is such a great and knowledgeable trail ride leader and gave us a beautiful ride touring several wineries! They have a wonderful boutique showcasing local artists and many fun classes. This is my second trail ride and I will be doing many more. If you are ever in Tri Cities or surrounding, please stop by!

Teresa is very kind and informative. She allowed a group of us to show up last minute to surprise a family member who loves horses. It was a very good experience. We all enjoyed ourselves. Her horses are so sweet and funny. Also, I highly recommend her homemade goat milk soap! It smells phenomenal and leaves your skin feeling so soft.

Spent 3 days wine tasting in the Red Mountain area with 2 other couples. We did the Sunset Wagon Ride and Dinner with Red Mountain Trails on our last night. What a great experience. It was about a 30 minute wagon ride each way to a simple table set up for the 6 of us table cloth and all. Beautiful view of the valley and was totally quiet except for the laughter of our group. Great food from the grill and much more than our group could eat. This was the highlight of our trip and was very different than the usual noisy restaurant. Will definitely do it again.

Teresa is a wonderful host! She introduced and paired the horses well to our experience levels. Nice easy trails. I would recommend to anyone interested in horseback riding or wine tasting!

Amazing experience. Teresa and Emily were so wonderful and full of information about the local wineries and vineyards. Best way to wine taste... astride a four legged beast!

Stopped here to do a wine tasting and wound up staying for lunch and then coming back for their monthly three course dinner later in the evening. The wine was some of the best we tasted in the Red Mountain area, and the food was just as spectacular. Katie who did our tasting was very knowledgeable and told us so much about both the wine and the region as well as how things are grown. She provided excellent wine recommendations and also let us compare and contrast some of the different wines which really made for a great tasting experience. If I lived in the area I would definitely come back often for both the food and the wine, but we had to settle with ordering some to be shipped home.

We had the Ceasar salad and chicken. The dressing was not terrible but was put on a little heavy and needed just a little more zest to it to be very good. We also had the Giacomo pizza, which was very good. It had very good ingredients and was cooked nicely. Lizzy had the Albarino and seemed to enjoy it a lot. Overall prices are not terrible for a vineyard but are on the pricier side but not a terrible value. We We definitely come back on occasion.

We booked a tasting followed by a reservation for their Thursday night happy hour. The facility is very very nice, with Italianate decorations and patio. The wines were some of the best in the area, as well as plenty of different types to try. The food was SO so good too! I felt like we had really lucked out on booking at this winery, and I don't feel like we could have gotten better food anywhere else in the area. The Divola pizza was divine! Our server was very kind and personable, which is always appreciated. She answered all of our questions and never made us feel neglected or rushed. The owner of the winery was present behind the bar that night and opened up wines not on the menu so that we could have extra tastings, which made us feel very special. I will definitely come back again, and specifically book the Happy Hour too! I am very appreciative to have found this winery!

Tami and Katy were the best! They were so kind and personable. Additionally, the charcuterie board was the best we have ever had and bonus because they also had local draft beer which my fiancée enjoyed. They had a great selection of white estate wines to choose from. The arch terrace Chardonnay did not disappoint.

Loved this gorgeous winery! The view is absolutely breath taking. Reservations are recommended especially on weekends as this place gets very busy. They have an onsite kitchen and is a very popular spot for wine and lunches. They are dog friendly on the patio only. You get to taste about 8 wines for $30 Or fee is waived with a purchase of any two bottles. Tasting did not disappoint from their whites to red. They have a variety for all taste buds. I loved all their Cabs. They have a mix of 100% Cab to some with Merlot and Cab Franc. All were delish and as I was tasting I kept thinking of food items these would pair well with. Of course we purchased half a case variety of red wines. Venue is super clean, great vibe and super friendly staff. Darcy and Alex were both amazing. We will definitely be going back here when in the area.

Alex H.was our waitress, and Chef Dan was our cook. When we arrived, we were seated appropriately. The wine tasting was interesting. Then, YES! My order was running late (food ).Ok stop! Here comes the Five stars. I expressed it was best to get the bill, and move on... NOPE! They took it to the next level and as light as they are with staff, they came through in a clutch.

We didnt get to do the tour due to unavailability and had to contend with the wine testing. First thing first - beautiful location. Felt like an Oasis when we went in. Beautiful views. Coming to wine testing - nice flavors (I am not a big wine lover, but liked the different tastes/wines they had). They charged $30/head. That would have been waived off, had you gotten two bottles of wines from them. Since I am not a big wine drinker, i opted for the tasting. They have cheese and crackers, which we need to buy and they would serve it for you. Our hostess was patient and clear while explaining each one before pouring. We didnt get food here, but i saw food being served to a table. I would definitely recommend this place if you wanted to do some wine tasting.

Did not have a bad wine here. They are legit. Nice staff with great personalities.

Try the Mimosa flight! It was easy to make reservations for our group of eight. We do wish there hadn't been so much highway noise and that the staff had described the wines. When we there, they only had charcuterie boards, not real lunch options

Walked in , very nice place warm feeling and relaxing. Kind of had a Pre-1950s feel. Only purchased two bottles to go but will definitely come back to visit. Sammy accommodated me , even recommend a good wine selection . 5 stars.

super welcoming and knowledgeable staff, lovely location with a large patio. we didn’t have reservations but were treated like royalty. I was in the mood for whites and they were packed with flavor at a fair price point!

Our host Rob presented us with an incredible flight at the airfield. Will return. Thanks for a sun memorable Sunday

Friendly and helpful! Open and airey with a large wine selection. Went above and beyond to help us find the wines we liked.

Let me start by saying Elizabeth was amazing! She was so knowledgeable & hospitable. She even brought a bowl of water for the pups! The mimosa flight was great & lovely seating. They Also have a great little gift shop.

Visited 6/27. Had to knock to be let in a few minutes after 11. Two young women were ringing up people in safety vests(employees?) one after the other. After about 5 minutes of waiting at tasting bar, one of them asked if we were there for a tasting and we answered, yes. She stated she would be right with us and continued ringing up these vested people. After another 5 minutes of being ignored, we left. We had been regular drinkers of your wine, and had looked forward to this tasting. However, due to your employees' rude behavior, you have lost us as customers.

Nice winery with a lot of character, despite being like a corporation (watch the trucks with grapes come and go). Make sure to go down the stairs and see the cellar with all the cases. The tasting room is very comfortable, enough space to taste and browse the wines. Prices of the wines are very reasonable.

This place is unbelievable great place to visit and take a tour you will not be dispointed at all.

Beautiful grounds and a very nice tasting room with friendly employees. Visited during the Spring Barrel weekend and were fortunate enough to be able to go down into the cellar to taste wine from the barrels. Nice selection of items for sales including some cheese and other snacks.

We had the best time at Columbia Crest Winery today in the tasting room with Vicky,. She made our day by being so welcoming, joking around with us and being so informative! She even got us some cheese and crackers to go with the tasting! We shared how much we were looking forward to our visit, but had been worried of our delay during the drive to the winery from the Columbia Gorge waterfalls, as it was much farther than we were thinking and it took so long to get there that we didn’t arrive until 4:30, just having discovered that they closed at 5 pm while we were on the way! Upon arrival we thought we would be rushed through the tasting experience at this, our favorite overall winery, after coming from Philadelphia to visit while in Washington. But nothing could have been further from that as she showed us numerous wines and even gave us an individual tour of the vine cellar and a tasting from a barrel during fermentation! She shared her Columbia Crest story with us and even took a picture with us! In the end we were there for over an hour and we would have never known that she and a few of her colleagues were staying to make our experience so special! What a wonderful representation of Columbia Crest she was! Congratulation to Columbia Crest for having a great staff member to represent your business!! Highly recommend others touring this beautiful winery!

I'm going to be honest, I was a bit leery because it was such a big corporation winery. But it was actually a great experience. First of all $5 for 4, 5 tastes? Awesome. Second, the chateau they had was incredibly classy but approachable. Third, the attendant at the bar was incredibly nice, easy to talk to, and poured us drinks we were curious about, even if they were off the list. Good times and nice vineyard to walk around.

A fantastic and pleasing place to visit.

Planned a private wine tasting with my girls to catch up and drink wine. They even helped out with creating a charcuterie board to sample with the wines. Overall, a great experience and a beautiful place. Shame it was raining, would have loved to walk around but the scenery was breathtaking. Will be visiting again during my next visit.

Great place to deliver, fast unloading and have overnight parking

Excellent engagement activities and learning for adults and kids! History of the area and the agriculture grown here! And did you know they make Tillamook cheese here? You can’t buy cheese but you can buy ice cream!

I stopped at the supercharger during a trip, and was disappointed that there was no food, so me and my dad walked past the large play structure to the Sage Center and it was really cool inside with interesting displays 🦌🥔🐺, sadly we didn't tour it all but we did use the public bathrooms (The girls bathroom is clean and comfortable) and shopped around the gift shop. Not to mention there was to go bowls of tillamook ice cream 😋. The costumer service was also super good and the employees were really nice.

This is where my Tesla always has us stop on our trips to Boise, Idaho. Once I actually went inside, I saw how cool the museum actually is. It has a lot of interactive activities and awesome information you wouldn’t learn from many places. Great place for kids. It has an outdoor playground and a little area for dogs to run around, play and go potty. Would definitely recommend stopping, especially with children on long trip breaks.

Best place to charge EV with kids! We stopped here twice to charge our Rivian and it’s the best. Chargers are fast, and some of the Tesla chargers have adapters so we could charge easily. The best part is the playground!!!! So much more pleasant to charge here with the kids. There’s also picnic tables, so a great place to hang out while you charge. One negative is that there aren’t bathrooms (there was a disgusting port-a-potty).

Stopped here to use a Tesla supercharger. Wonderful that we were welcome to use the restroom & have coffee/relax. Especially enjoyed the impressive educational exhibits, and awesome outdoor playground!

Not a huge museum but they pack a lot of different topics in the space. Several interactive exhibits. All is focused on agriculture and industry in the area, including historical perspectives.

So much great education about our farming in USA. The Ballon ride was down when we were there. If in the area fir a few days or need a break from driving, we highly recommend. Plenty of room for large motor homes & tow veichles

Beautifully set up. Art, painting, dolls, so much. My interest is indigenous of the USA, my own heritage. So much to see and the museum had so much respect. I was quite proud. .ost impressed by the bead work, holy cow, wish I had the patience and spiritual stamina. The chess collection is awesome

This is a destination museum in a breathtaking setting. The collection seems to be personal and varied, but that gives it a unique personality. The setting gives you room both physically and intellectually to give you a chance to examine and enjoy each collection in a way quite different than if it was in a metropolitan museum. Taking time outside between galleries allows you to go freshly into a new experience.

This is a great museum and has many different things to see. The different exhibits are interesting and eclectic. Definitely worth the visit.

2 Rodin rooms. 2 rooms of Post-war Parisian fashion designer miniatures. 1 large indigenous artifact room. Location is stunning.

I wasn’t expecting how large the art museum was. There is a lot of art to look at, not just the chess sets. There is also a cafe but we didn’t try it when we were there. The staff were also super friendly. It’s worth the trip.

Well worth the money. Tickets can be bought on line and are good for several months. Find out who was Sam Hill

Amazing little museum in the middle of nowhere with some great pieces. The Rodins, Theatre de la Mode and Native American pieces were especially impressive. Spectacular views of the gorge too.

For myself, and my friend we were not big fans of the wine tasting. Only because the wine was more on the sweeter side. The patio is however very lovely and was nice even on a warm windy day. I actually was glad to be able to try wine and not have to hear someone tell me about what mountainside they got it on. I was able to converse with my friend while sipping wine and looking at that gorgeous view. The only other drawback for me was the decimal of the rap music they were playing. I'm giving this place 2 stars mainly for location.

I don't know which I like better - the wine or the view! Thankfully when you visit you don't have to choose, you get both. The wines are really good. The tasting bar is beautiful and has plenty of space for many tasters at once. The servers are always friendly and attentive even though they are juggling many customers - the place always seems pretty busy! I always enjoy the tasting, but what really makes the visit superb is buying a glass to enjoy on the patio. The views are incredible! This trip was unique for us as there was a layer of snow amid the vines and snow on the hillsides around the Columbia - just amazing. I had a limit of one bottle per winery stop during this trip as we were travelling in our Truck Camper and we have to be aware of the vehicle weight.... and then oops.... we bought 2 cases, where is that going to go? We will visit again soon!

The first face we saw was very friendly. She greeted us with a warm friendly welcome. Unfortunately, she was off shift, leaving and it went down hill from there. We had to go seek service inside as we wanted to be seated outside. Finally got acknowledged. We ordered a taste of wine flights. The wine was good but here's the thing, we go wine tasting a lot. We're wine members at some nice wineries and Maryhill in Goldendale is as good but certainly not better. I think 60.00 dollars for a bottle of a blend is a little much. Nice atmosphere, beautiful setting however, it looks like birds may own this winery instead of people. There were bird droppings everywhere outside, on the floor, on the steps, on the railings. I'd suggest sitting inside if you visit. Overall, good but not great. Possibly a tad overrated, overpriced.

Great winery. Great wine, food and view. Very friendly service. Worth the trip.

Amazing, dramatic setting! Good service and wine. We had the Caesar salad, which was actually pretty good with a house made extra garlicky dressing. The “forest mushroom” pizza was a disappointment, however, as there were virtually no mushrooms on it. Basically more of a flat bread with a lot of roasted garlic.

Have been a regular visitor here for many years. Today's visit very disappointing. After 15 minutes of waiting, we finally ordered our own wine inside. Another 15 minutes and we had to track down a server for our food order. The server first took the order from an adjacent table who arrived well after we did. Yes, they were busy, but there are about 20 tables and 3 servers. No excuse for a 30 minute wait for service. It will be a long while before we head that way again.

One of the best pizzas we have had. The spinach dip was delicious! Beautiful views and very friendly staff! Wine was amazing as well - as expected!!! Thank you for a wonderful and memorable experience!!

Went there with my daughter, granddaughter, and my sons lady friend. Did the wine flight and charcuterie boards. Great place, decor, and food/wine. Enjoyed our ladies' afternoon.

We were at the Sunshine Mill Winery several years ago and all I can say is, it just keeps getting better! What a unique place for a winery, in an old elevator/bakery. This is a place not to be missed. There are so many little cozy areas to sit and explore. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The wines were very good and so was the food to go along with it. You MUST stop and see this place. It is now our favorite winery and wish we had something like this closer to San Diego.

Great space. We rented a space for our rehearsal dinner and it was perfect for people to mingle in a group or more intimate setting. Loved the decorations!

The atmosphere was very cool, vintage decor. The staff were friendly yet preoccupied and not very attentive until the end of our visit. The tasting, the wine was great

This has got to be a bucket list place to go. It is so unique and quirky, but oh so relaxing too. The tasting are only $10! It is a MUST SEE! I went and they were not that busy, which was really nice because the place was quiet and I sat down with my tray of wine and read a book. After doing so, I did buy the Winemakers White blend which was AMAZING. Their red wines were very bold in my opinion. They do take the $10 and apply it if you buy a wine, so I would reccomend it!

Great wine, fantastic food, incredibly cool decor, super friendly staff. Edited to add: We just had our wedding at Sunshine Mill last weekend and it could not have gone better. The staff rearranged their entire tasting area to turn it into an amazing dance floor and karaoke area. They worked closely with our other vendors to make sure everything went off without a hitch, and they kept us in the loop during the months leading up to the big day. I can't thank them enough for helping us throw such an amazing party for our family and friends. If you're looking for an affordable but strikingly beautiful and unique wedding venue in the Gorge, definitely pay a visit to Sunshine Mill. You won't be disappointed.

This was a stop on our Valentine's Day tour of Gorge Wineries, and this one had by far the best customer service. Great conversation about the wines and other local things! The serving host told us about a great new state park campground nearby - Cottonwood Canyon - that we hadn't visited before. The wines were good and we couldn't resist buying a couple. The setting is neat as well because of the historic building. Overall a great stop and we will definitely visit again!

I had so much fun at this museum. We walked through the gate and our first greeter was a sweet cat named Midnight (she likes belly rubs) when we were done living on her, we met the staff. They were knowledgeable and very friendly. They helped make the experience amazing. I even learned something new!

Friendly docent. Nice selection of old vehicles. Great old bldgs and exhibits on pioneer life. Friendly kitty

Great source of history, the volunteer was full of information and stories. A great place to take the family or have a picnic. They even have an old electric car, see photos. All in all a great stop for families and history buffs

Very nice worth a visit. I really enjoyed the old car collection

Didn't pay to go into the buildings but did tour the grounds and see the many wagons and carriages

Bob is amazing. Very knowledgeable and keeps the museum in beautiful repair. Worth the time to visit when you are in the area.

Addendum: The place has new owners. I met them. They are amazing! The entire place has had an overhaul. Almost nothing is the same. They are restoring it and taking items out as well as putting different items in. It's more like a house now. I posted the new look on here. I had a bunch of amazing photos on here from years ago. Unfortunately they have been removed or something. I am a psychic. We went here to enjoy history and be more aware of it. This museum is the actual house where a doctor resided. The design and the history are rich. Staff here are so welcoming, absolutely delightful. They are accepting of all types of visitors, even MY TYPE. I got so many readings from this property. And most were extreme. Stuff I can't post on here. Beautiful house! Beautiful displays. Areas you can touch, the house itself is pristine. The grounds are immaculate. They also have an antique garage. This garage holds 2 carriages that were specific for funerals. They carried the bodies, right down the road, to the cemetery.

Been using this crew for a decade, although the owner of the original High Desert River Outfitters Co. Has passed and since has been bought out by Raft California I will try to support the new crew with continued dedication.

This is a company that has been in the business a long time and definitely knows what they are doing. Outstanding customer service, COVID compliant and some of the best guides available. The guide for our day trip was Zach Williams and not once did I question the safety of the hands we were in. Several other guides and rafters we encountered along the trip confirmed it by telling us "He's the best guide out here". Multiple trip options to choose from and the experience will be as tame or daring as you and your group chooses. It was so much fun and the pictures the company photographer took really captured it. My group and I are looking forward to the next one. I could not recommend this business more!

Did a half day trip, with Jim as our guide, and it was probably the best rafting trip I have been on (even though I got tossed out of the boat). Just a fun trip, and we will be coming back for a full day for sure.

We participated in the 3 day 2 night rafting/camping trip on the Lower Deschutes River. It was an amazing experience. Truly, the memories will last a lifetime!

My family (wife and two teenagers) were excited as well as apprehensive about white water rafting, that is until they met our guide, Kirk. Kirk, his positive energy and high level of skill truly made our trip one to remember. Our son is autistic and while he enjoys adventure, we thought this might be pushing the envelope. Nope. Kirk caught on fast and made sure to help our son feel capable, included and best of all, Kirk made sure Connor had a great time. We can't wait to head back next summer! Hopefully we get Kirk again.

I've never been whitewater rafting before, but this trip will definitely make me a regular! I plan to go back every summer now! Our guides were amazing and the Groupon price was a steal.

Went this past Friday and was treated to an entire days worth of rafting and a great lunch. The entire staff was friendly and fun. Be prepared to jump off rocks, swim down the “swimmers rapids”, and raft into a refreshingly crisp Deschutes River! Our guide Amanda was incredible. She made the trip one to remember. Would definitely recommend.

First time white water rafting, Haven, our guide was knowledgeable and pleasant. He took us through some spectacular areas, and the All Star photographer got some excellent shots. Definitely a good time! Highly recommend

Recently did an all-day drip with All Star. We were lucky enough to get Gretchen as our guide and she is AMAZING. My wife and I were the only two not in a bigger group, so it was just the two of us and Gretchen in a smaller raft and we had a blast. We had the best time here, and we will definitely be coming back next summer with all our kiddos! The rafts and equipement were all in great shape. The lunch was amazing. Overall, we just had a great time! Thanks so much All Star, and thanks Gretchen for being an awesome guide!!!

Rented a great raft, great service, awesome ride to the river, knowledgeable tutorials befor my first captaining experience, and timely pickup at the end of the trip, all for a fair price! Highly recommend!

What a great experience! Everything went really smooth. Our guide Elias was super cool. Lunch was very well done, and they even had refreshments when we pulled up on shore before heading back on the road. The geological facts were super cool too. Most importantly our whole family was treated warmly and respectfully. We had a tremendous amount of fun swimming, jumping off rocks, riding the rapids, riding the bull and sliding down the slippery rocks on the white river as a fun little stop during our day trip down the deschutes. I don’t normally leave reviews but this place was really awesome and I highly recommend them. We will for sure be coming back for their overnight trip! What a great way to spend the day with friends or in our case, our 6 person family, the two youngest being 10yrs old. Super fun!!

Had a great time on a 3 day rafting trip. The guides (Peter and Mike) were awesome. Our kids had a blast. The guides were safety first oriented. The food was great. Like any trip I would have a couple small recommendations for them. But overall very fun trip that my kids will remember.

My family has used all star rafting for many years. Excellent customer service. Everybody was very friendly and seem to be a family orientated business. Booking was really easy they showed up when they said they would and met us at Sandy Beach right on time. All the equipment was obviously well used but everything worked properly. However, I talked to someone after a rafting trip and they apologized about the well used equipment and said they would be getting new rafts for next season. I’m guessing they are a family business and Covid had an impact on them just like everybody else. Which is completely understandable. I would absolutely give all star rafting five stars and would highly recommend. I’m looking forward to coming back for another trip next year. Thanks again for the amazing memories

I probably have more experience with these guy than about anyone. I was with a school group for about 7 summers. We always used All Star. The guides were always great and everything went smoothly. Then, I recently used them personally with some college friends. They rented us the raft, ferried us up the river, and picked us up at the bottom. Perfectly smooth, as usual. Silas in the office has been super accommodating both this trip, and another personal trip I tried to set up two years ago, but which I had to back out of. No problem, no worries, he just refunded my deposit.

This was my first ever rafting trip, though I went with some friends and their kids who have gone a handful of times. Our guide, Pippa, made it the most amazing first experience! She was professional and safe but also funny and personable. Her ‘dad jokes’ were very entertaining and she had so much cool information and history to share with us about the river and surrounding area! I’m glad that she was the one to introduce me to white water rafting, and now I’m hooked! Can’t wait to go back! :)

We went with River Drifters last month and had such an amazing time with Cole as our guide that we HAD to return when my father in law visited from Germany. He had a blast too! The guides are fun and provide every group a unique and memorable experience. We had a rather large group, so email communication was needed to arrange accordingly. The group is very responsive and super helpful. 10/10 will go again!

We've drafted on the Deschutes River before but with other outfitters. This time we used Riverdrifters. From start to finish, the Reservation process, their pricing, their thorough communications until our day to raft were very reasonable, professional, and informative. Yesterday was our day on the River and, once again, Riverdrifters was awesome! Our guide, Chris, was very safety-oriented, knowledgeable, fun, and navigated all of the rapids with excellent execution. The lunch provided was excellent ( the cookies were the bomb!) Highly recommended for your next trip!

This was such a fun experience for a wide age range. The guides are friendly and patient. They also build time in for people to take swims if they like. There were plenty of jaunty class 3s that I couldn’t capture pics of. It’s exciting and relaxing, all in one half day trip. Definitely worth it. Just beware food choices will be slim out here. But the Imperial Hotel has a beautiful back patio with decent food.

Amazing trip! Jose was the best guide—fun, clear, and kept us safe while still bringing the excitement. Favorite part hands down was the Big Thrill Swimmers Rapid—absolutely unforgettable! Highly recommend rafting with Jose.

I went on 2 full day trips in July, and just got back from a 3 day camping raft trip. The day trips were great despite having done this run many times each of the day trips were a different experience, the guides are fantastic and make the trips so much fun. Once I had Johnny and I can’t say enough about how good he was, so smart and funny and sweet! The next time it was Walker who was the guide, he was also great, I swear I can’t recall laughing like I did that day! But the camping trip was the absolute best! RiverDrifters communicate well and all is well organized. The guide Haven is just fabulous, knowledgeable, considerate and you always feel safe. He is just a wonderful person all around, we also had Wilson, and it is truley amazing the things he gets done, he takes all the gear down the river ahead of us and finds the most perfect camp sites and has things set up! He is the man behind the scene that without him… it just wouldn’t work!! If you are looking for a great river experience go with RiverDrifters!!

We had such an amazing time. Our guide Chris was a lot of fun but also very accommodating for my husband who has some hip issues. Very knowledgeable about the history and wildlife and was very safe. We will definitely be back!!!

Tucked away in the hills just outside Madras hides this literal gem. The a selection of unique stones for sale from local fields and from a far is second to none. I have never seen a literal pile of raw thunder eggs the size of a baby's head until I went here! Friendly people, jaw dropping museum room and plenty of unique wears for sale. A must see for any rock hound!

Absolutely incredible crystals, geodes, specimens, basically anything you can imagine. My friends and I stopped here on our way back from a concert, and everything about this place is awesome. Incredible prices on everything (especially the rough stones in the yard, typically only $5 a pound), and awesome customer service. This is a must-stop location if you're passing by it!!

They have a wonderful selection of raw stones, crystals, and thunder eggs outside and a very nice collection of tumbled, polished and shaped stones and crystals inside. So glad we took a detour to stop and check it out! Some of my beautiful finds in their new home 😍 they haven't been cleaned up yet, but they still speak to me! Super friendly proprietors that can tell you all about their items. Stop in to add to your stone/crystal collection and visit the Ostrich and Peacocks too. We'll be back soon!

Love this place. Literal tons of rock to satisfy every rockhound. Their prices for rough are really good. Nothing like picking your own pieces instead of rolling the dice online. Store has all kinds of finished pieces from all over the world.

This is the best rock shop I've ever been to! There is so much variety and they are very helpful.

An absolute paradise for rock lovers 😍 I drove many hours to go here and was not at all disappointed. There are so many rocks from all over the world, and also a beautiful gift store with lots of treasures. I could have spent all day here, and all my money. I can’t wait yo visit it again sometime (soon!🤞).

If you’re looking for the best rock shop in Oregon, look no further. Richardson’s Rock Ranch in Madras is a no-frills, down-to-earth rock lover’s paradise. As someone who’s been bringing rocks, sticks, and leaves home since childhood, this place felt like a dream come true. You’re greeted by actual peacocks (yes—peacocks) wandering the property, and the whole experience is welcoming and judgment-free. You can dig through bins of crystals, minerals, and rough cuts priced by the pound, all while surrounded by breathtaking views of cowboy country. The drive alone is worth it. This is a true local gem—family-owned, full of character, and the kind of place you’ll want to come back to again and again. Whether you’re a rockhound, collector, or just someone who appreciates Earth’s natural beauty, go shop local and support this incredible brick-and-mortar. I’ll definitely be going back.

This place is a gem! Right in downtown and easy to get to. Lots of local history to go though plus about everything else you can think of in a very well laid out museum. Nice and friendly staff and we spent about three hours looking around. One of the best we've been to in our travels.

This museum was a GREAT FIND! The displays were well constructed- all of the artifacts made sense and were shown off to great advantage. It was well worth a visit. The museum host, Sean, was personable & excited to show us around. He was happy to see out of town visitors. Despite the hours listed on Google- the museum is OPEN ON MONDAY’s during the summer Months. The website info is correct.

Brought my five kids as a homeschool field trip and was so impressed. My kids are all 8 and under so I wasn’t sure how much they would really get out it but there was so many interactive things we had a blast, of course the caboose was the biggest hit.

Admission is free. The layout is great. I personally enjoyed it and learned more about Prineville and Crook County. I'd recommend.

The twelve year old didn't want to explore at first but there were plenty of areas that interested him once he started to walk through. I loved the caboose outside. So fun to see how it looked inside. I loved the variety in this museum and the care it was all obviously under. I also loved the gift shop, I got a book I can't wait to read that was related to a display.

It has interesting displays of history of banking, timber and sawmills, ranching, railroading, Les Schwab tires and Native Americans. It also has a great selection of books for sale on historical and regional history.

Great little museum if you are interested in Prineville and Crook County history. There is a lot of information to take in and I didn't manage to read everything. Be sure to budget at least a couple of hours if you want to immerse yourself in the exhibits. If you just want to look without reading, you can probably do so within half an hour, but why?

Would try again. Food slow coming out of kitchen. There was a group of three before us. And we were a group of 5 who placed our order after small group got their food. Hash browns were just barely browned. Eggs were cooked as ordered. Nice, clean place..like I said.. I would try again.

Amazing day at and amazing course! Family was in town for a family reunion, decided to sneak in a round before the festivities, found this gem in prineville and let me tell you the views of the course are amazing , even coming down the hill overlooking it we were amazed! The course was in awesome shape , plush grass , well manicured greens ,. We were elated the whole day ! It took awhile as we walked and it is a large course , just more time for brews! The drinks were cheap and the fun was non stop! We let a few carted small groups play thru as we were taking our time enjoying the course. Took us about 4.5 hrs for 18 and we both had zero complaints! We’re already planning our trip back,. Best part ,. ITS SO AFFORDABLE! Paid a few bucks more then my local executive course I play weekly ,.. did I say I was coming back? Cuz I am !

Best city course I've ever played. Very well kept and a great restaurant to boot.

Very nice course, but don’t go unless you have 5+ hours for your round. I’ve played here twice in the past 2 weeks and both times have been too packed with big groups and slow play. Wasted $100 to only get through 6 holes in 2 hours

This is my happy place.

Found a hidden gem in Central Oregon. Meadow Lakes in Prineville is a gorgeous, perfectly maintained golf course with lush tee boxes, fairways, and greens. It is long, with water and sand on every hole. And ONLY $30 for 18 holes with a cart, after 3pm Mo-Th.

Great course, so green and lush this time off year (early summer). Newly paved cart paths!

It's small and never crowded.Great air conditioner always nice and cool. No smoking.and they have a a vending machine you can buy cigs out of...... CRAZY. I haven't seen one of those since I was a little child

Nice level RV parking lot free to overnight. Casino is modern and really clean. Great variety of games to play. We enjoyed a nice buffet and left with a little more cash than we walked in with. Staff are all cheerful here. Shuttle from parking is convenient

Staff friendly helpful and caring. Casino clean and upbeat. Restaurant staff great food was disappointing and Luke warm. We had the special prime rib and baked potatoe. Primarily cool no seasoning aus gus thsamr. Baked was hard but hot. My side salad was good. I no it was a special but not being hot and season doesn't cost more than .1 a pound. So restaurant most likely no go again.

We went for the Ace Frehley concert. The place is small,the stage is outside in the parking lot. Is only 111° degrees. We stayed overnight in the ban. The concert was kind of sad not too much people nobody would sing along specially when Ace wanted everyone to sing and answer back in the New York groove. But my brother and I sang and enjoyed it alot. It was like our own private concert. Ace probably won't go there again.

Right off of highway 26. Plenty of parking but a very narrow drive in between parking spots in front of the casino. When long trucks parked there it's difficult to get through there is a fenced side lot which might be for larger vehicles. We stopped in for a couple of drinks and some food. Hoping for a buffet but we're pretty impressed with the lunch menu and the drinks were great. Lady friend played the slots while I checked out the museum and heritage store. I highly recommend taking a look at both of those. There's also interesting stuff to see across the street from the casino... Doors were locked when I visited but plan to return when it's open. GREAT VIEWS of the river from this park across the street too! BUT watch out for BIG OLE DUMMY SEMI TRUCK DRIVERS who aren't familiar with what a crosswalk is though. Hold your little ones hands

My first visit...Little place, but great games. There are two places on site to eat. We ate lunch at the small café. Prices were surprisingly low and the food was very good.

Where you can go to lose it all. The odds here are very low. When drawing. Happens its rarely a name that's not always called. The one time a winner picked me I spent the entire amount to win next to nothing . Guessing your card tracks rather good knowing the inexperienced from the experienced . Very clean very nice front counter people though

Went there for the first time Oct 2025. I went on a day about 11:00 am that they were having a rock climbing event so parking full. Decided to go to Dee Wright Observatory ( amazing) and come back. Arrived about 3:00 pm. Still a lot of ppl but found parking. Was my lucky day because took the Canyon trail (which was flat as far as I went) and was alone on it. Was unbelievably beautiful and peaceful. Pictures do not capture the raw beauty of nature there. Really an amazing place I could’ve walked for days in if I could have. A really special experience. I met two ppl in a diner who said they’ve never been, one has lived in area for 9 years and one for 3. Blew my mind. I would be there as much as possible if I lived close by. Go if you are lucky enough to.

This is an amazing place to visit. The formations are breathtaking and forever changing . Great place for hiking, rock climbing and just taking in the beauty. Spiritually moving and Awe inspiring Peace. Portable toilets and guided tours. Eagle watching is also fun if you can find them amongst the massive formation.

Beautiful stop! Smith Rock State Park looks vastly different than its surrounding area. You can either park and have a picnic and or hike, just soak in the views and head out, or enjoy the rock climbing wall playground they have! Our legs were killing us, so we decided just to do a quick stop and enjoy the views! Don't forget to check out Crescent Moon Ranch that's only 7 minutes away to feed and pet alpacas just for $5!

The views are AMAZING. There are plenty of trails on all different levels. The volunteers at the Welcome Center can advise you what trail to choose. I would recommend everyone to go here. If you don't have time or are physically not able to hike, still go there to watch the views from the parking lot. 15 minutes parking is free and within 1 minute you have stunning views.

Smith Rock is a wonderful scenic site that anyone can enjoy. If you can't walk far, just park at the top of the canyon and look out at the majesty of the rocks and high desert scenery. If you want a short hike, just bring a bottle of water and walk carefully down to the valley floor where the river is. If you want more adventure, there is rock climbing and there are longer hikes too. There is plenty of wildlife. We saw a marmot once feasting on the irrigated grass at the bottom. I've seen Osprey, Black-billed Magpie, Mallards, Canada Geese, Canyon Wren, White-throated Swifts, and others around too. For Oregon scenery, this spot isn't to be missed.

This has been one of the highlights of our road trip so far! Absolutely spectacular and such great choices in trail length. We were a bit confused at the start where the “Summit Loop” began from, but all trails seem to start from the one main entrance that takes you across the river. There’s also a large map once you get across.

We stopped by while passing through, merely to see the climbing area that we've heard of from ages past when Dale Goddard frequented the area. (We are "climbers emeritus".) When we arrived we realized that it deserved a lot more time than we had allocated for the visit. Lots of interesting trails with a variety of difficulties to explore, and only a short drive to Bend with all its creature comforts, or the lovely Tumalo State Park campground. Smith Rock is a seven hour drive from our home, but we are planning to go back.

Beautiful walk to the metolius river viewpoint. The ponderosa pines are gorgeous here. The chipmunks are also very curious here. There is a large parking area at the viewpoint and vaulted pit toilets that can get pretty stinky during the day and also a walk in camp. There is a picnic area as well. Benches at the river viewing area and some along the way. 8/13/18

Five stars in Autumn. Did the loop trail from Wizard Falls Fish Hatchery to Lower Bridge than back on the other side of the river. Went there at early October, a lot of Falls color and the water are so clear. The hike is around 6 miles round trip easy hike. It is rare that you could hike on the edge of the river most of the way. The river is also a hot spot for fly fishing.

Beautiful place to visit or camp. An amazing natural resource to be experienced.

There is a gorgeous hiking trail near Camp Sherman that leads to the fish hatchery. There are a few small waterfalls and the river is ver clear with amazing blue and green colors.

An incredibly beautiful river, eleven different well-maintained campsites, the charming Camp Sherman store, and The intriguing Fish Hatchery. Honestly this place has something fun for everyone! Yet another reason my family's been camping there for over 60 years.

Rated one of the top 3 most pristine rivers in the United States with some of the best fly fishing for trophy trout anywhere. It starts underground from west of the Cascades and emerges out of the rocks near Camp Sherman. At the end of the pathway where you can just sit and enjoy the beauty of Central Or. Take a step back in time and relax. It's good for the soul

Very nice stroll along a beautiful spring fed river. Pristine waters. Easy walk.

Very awe inspiring place super cool rock formations and canyons

Amazing place to vacation. We camped at Crooked River Campground in the Cove Palisades State Park. The campsite was large and the bathrooms were cleaned everyday. Clean showers were a blessing at the end of the day! There was lots of wild life and deer. Hiking trail and small amphitheater area for a large group gathering. AT&T had reception but T-Mobile users were out of luck in camp. Lots of fun on the water. And grassy tree shaded play area for kids on the bank with protected swim area right next to boat launch. Made it easy to take turns on the water with large family. There is a courtesy dock that was extremely useful. There is a kayak launch too. Great to board kayak roller launch into water easy . There is a marina for fuel and general store for things you forgot( like a case of water) . Lots of opportunity to rent house boats, jet skis and other watercraft. Would suggest to go to “clear water” where the green water of Lake Billy Schnook meets the fresh mountain river. The water in the river is crystal clear and cold which is a big contrast to the green warm water of Billy Schnook. The rock canyon walls are beautiful. Lava, pressure and time have created works of art. Nature is beautiful. On land I would suggest to visit the scenic look out points. You can see Mount Hood, Mount Jefferson, and the Sisters. ( plus the others in the ring of fire. Don’t know all the names) . We were there 7 days and could have stayed longer.

I went here for a Christian summer camp with my church and I got to meet a lot of new people and make a lot of friends especially kids around my age and some really cool leaders. There were areas where we could go on Shore and hike or walk around if we wanted to we were also able to canoe and swim almost wherever we wanted. We stayed on houseboats and it was a really fun experience to know what it's like to live on a boat and to get closer to God. The only not-so-fun part was the almost a little over eight hour drive but it was still cool because we got to ride the whole way in tour buses that had TVs and USB ports so we have entertainment .I will still definitely be going again next year and making even more memories and strengthening my relationship with God. P. S I just wrote a really long review because I need to level up my tour guide account and to do that I have to make 5 200-plus character reviews.

Beautiful lake with large basalt cliffs. Road that winds around the cove pallasaids is quite an adventure

Cove Pallisades state park, the three rivers community and Lake Billy Chinook, in Culver are a sight to behold, the canyons from the town following the outline of the lake up to three rivers and then into the marina is a spectacular if hazardous drive (falling rocks), and never ceases to amaze, never busy, terribly overlooked in terms of scenery, opposite the Warm Springs native nation and the pelton dam, Round Butte mountain which has a spectacular 360° viewpoint over the Cascades, been 7 times, going to visit again in Feb. '26, can't wait, a poinant scattering my mothers ashes over the lake, Redmond and Bend, Madras and Prineville can't wait.

Had a very nice vacation here during the eclipse. Family had a great time in the swim area of three rivers marina. Well stocked and supplied stores only downfall is public out houses were stinky. All in all, a stellar experience.

I grew up in Central Oregon and this was one of my favorite swimming holes. It’s a shame that there seems to be a chronic blue-green algae problem in the water. It’s still an excellent spot for boating and camping. The place I last stayed even had an educational program in the canyon every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night.

Great experience! My toddler and family enjoyed the entire time here. Initially driving in, it looks ran down but once you start walking around it is very serene and peaceful. Initially I thought it would be a quick in and out trip but we ended up taking over 2 hours here, although could be completed way quicker. We got lots of fun photos and enjoyed feeding the peacocks and visiting the gift shop. We almost missed the exhibit at the front of the property with water and islands, so make sure to visit that side of the property since it isn't well marked. Must see stop when visiting the area. Dog and toddler friendly!

If you like roadside attractions—the kind that spring from one person’s sheer vision, diligence, and obsession—then Peterson Rock Garden is an absolute must-see. This place is a folk art fever dream come to life: hand-built miniature castles, bridges, and patriotic monuments, all crafted from lava rock, agate, petrified wood, and glass. It’s eccentric, a little weathered, and absolutely unforgettable. But here’s the real hidden gem: the gift shop. Calling it a treasure trove doesn’t do it justice. We found genuine showpiece items for our home at unbelievable prices—pieces we’d expect to see in a curated boutique for triple the cost. On top of that, the staff gave us a mini history lesson about the garden’s creator and the surrounding area while we browsed. It was one of those moments where you go in expecting a kitschy stop and leave with a story, a haul of amazing finds, and a greater appreciation for the passion behind the place. A quick heads-up: if you hear what sounds like a mythical creature howling through the trees, don’t panic—you’re not being hunted. That’s just one of the overly dramatic peacocks voicing his displeasure at… who knows what. There are peacocks all over the grounds, strutting freely and occasionally screaming like something out of Jurassic Park. It’s weird, wonderful, and totally on brand for a place like this. Highly recommend taking the detour. You won’t regret it.

Quirky, off the beaten path spot. Dozens of odd hand built rock and lava structures by a devoted Mr. Petersen. Artsy and unique. Interesting small museum as well. A dozen peacocks of all ages roam the property. Worth a visit if you're in the area. Rustic facilities, free entry but donation requested.

Read about this place in Weird Oregon and stopped by on the return trip to the Painted Hills. Beautiful, and just as weird as the book described! The museum has inconsistent hours which makes me sad because I would have loved to go inside but perhaps another trip is in order 😉 The pond lilies were blooming and the peacocks gave us a show, too 🦚

Great fun, held my first chicken here and for $1 you get a cup of seeds to feed the peacocks! We enjoyed the museum filled with so many different rocks, stones, gems, and crystals. You can even buy some there or ask where you can forge your own. The staff made me feel comfortable asking questions and sharing their knowledge, which is a big plus considering I’m shy when it comes to that.

An absolute treasure! This is a wonderful place to take your kids! This farm turned rock garden has a colorful past which is perfectly preserved by the current owners. They have peacocks who while quite noisy are docile enough to feed. The sculptures are creative and you can see a progression of skill and creativity as Mr. Petersen built new rock art pieces. Admission is based on donation, with adults paying a suggested $10 and kids are up to you. Well worth the visit.

A beautiful and fun experience! Highly recommend all to stop and take a stroll through to see Peacocks n Peahens along with the intrinsically amazing stone/rock creations!

What an absolutely beautiful place. Not too far of a drive. Paved paths. Was able to push my husband in his wheelchair thru out the whole area. Always a pleasure to spend an afternoon out here

I've gone here twice and both times I enjoyed it a lot. It was really nice to just walk around and appreciate nature as well as to feed the fish. You can buy some fish food and machines around the place for a quarter. You can also spot an eagle perched at the top of the trees sometimes which is awesome sight. I forgot to take pictures of the actual hatchery, but I took some of the river.

Super cool looking at the fish and the river was insane!

Very beautiful place for a stroll/hike, alone or with family or friends. Place is well maintained, with lots of fish of different stage complete with information boards for your knowledge. Bring a picnic lunch as there are tables overlooking the lake and the view is gorgeous!

The hatchery was on a nice site. We could roam freely along the runs, observing the bigger fish. The fertilizing and nursery were closed.. There was a pond with large fish swimming around that you could feed. The river next to the hatchery was beautiful.

The hatchery is notable in that the West and East Metolius trails can be accessed from here. Ample parking and several campgrounds are very close by. The fall scenery here is mindblowing and picture taking opportunities are abundant. Bring all of your supplies, the closest store is Camp Sherman and is miles away. Five star hiking area.

We loved walking around and seeing the whole process!

14 Hands has consistently delivered high quality, excellent value WA red wine blends for many years. The 2019 Juicy Red is another great example. Syrah based, it serves up complex, well balanced blueberry, dark cherry, black current, mocha and spices. We enjoyed ours during a delicious roast beef dinner. Still youthful for about an hour, it smoothed out nicely for sipping after dinner.

This place is amazing! I read a comment that said the wines are totally different than what is in the store and that is 100percent true. Great wines at a great price. The white cabernet is divine and the charcuterie board has the best cheese I've had in years.

We continue to enjoy going to 14 Hands each time we visit our family in the Tri-Cities so that we may select a few more bottles to bring back home to Napa where we live— we especially love their Cabernet Sauvignon! What we like is that 14 Hands offers a good selection of reasonably priced wines. We also really enjoy the wine tasting experience because 14 Hands has a very nice tasting room, a pleasant and knowledgeable staff, and a large and welcoming patio area— we recommend ordering the cheese plate, which we have found to nicely complement our wine tastings!

A beautiful winery serving one of our favourite Chardonnay’s!! Just a quick first stop on a whirlwind three week road trip, we couldn’t ask for more! Grabbed a few bottles to go for our evening “night cap” in the next town/state!! Thank you 14 Hands for making such tasty product!!

Went here for a wine tasting and they were so awesome and so nice that we ended up joining their wine club which has no membership fee. As a result our complete wine tasting was free and the bottle the prices of the bottles of wine were greatly reduced. It's a very nice wine tasting room with a big large outdoor area that wraps all the way around. Besides the tasting room in large outdoor patio area, they have some interesting vintage barnwood displays, an art gallery, and a little store. Employee Cassandra took great care of us and told us so much history of the winery and their different grapes and vintages. We had such a fun time, highly recommend.

Our highlight of our winery visits in Prosser was the warm welcome we got from Casandra and Veronica at the Best Western Express and 14 Hands winery. They represent the best of the company!

We stopped by this lovely tasting room while on a road trip in July 2022, as a respite from driving in the 100°+ heat. It was a very pleasant experience. The atmosphere of the tasting room is very nice, our tasting guide was wonderful and we enjoyed some unique reserve wines that the winery does not distribute very widely in liquor stores. So, of course, we ended up buying a few bottles. Highly recommended!

Great spot! - & friendly staff... Chelsee was very helpful and we enjoyed her knowledge and sense of humor. Highly recommended!

First time at a tasting room in Eastern Washington. This place was not crowded for a Sunday, but we were not their during the busy season. Learned about their process and how they get their wine. Had some nice reserves while there.
