Fields Spring State Park is a paradise for wildflower and wildlife enthusiasts. Tucked in the Blue Mountains in Southeastern Washington, this camping park is layered with Ponderosa pines, western larches, and Douglas fir trees, where a variety of wildlife including deer, elk, black bears, birds, and mountain sheep live. Climb up to Puffer Butte and overlook the Grand Ronde Canyon and neighboring Oregon and Idaho. Besides the panoramic views, Fields Spring offers the chance to bicycle, backpack, fish, and rock climb. In the winter, part of Fields Spring turns into a Sno-Park, with groomed trails for cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, and snowshoeing. If you stay overnight to enjoy all the surrounding region has to offer, choose between standard campsites, teepees, a cabin, or retreat centers for larger groups.
This park is named after early settlers Benjamin and Mary Fields, who developed a spring for their ranch in today's park. Fields Spring is also part of the historic migration route the Nez Perce Indians took from Oregon to Idaho.
