Windust Park
Windust Park is located on Lake Sacajawea in Eastern Washington. The lake is formed by Ice Harbor Dam on the Lower Snake River. The remoteness of this park is popular with regional visitors looking for a quiet area to get away from it all. The park provides recreational opportunities for boaters, campers, hikers and anglers alike.
