The forest, which spans over 1.1 million acres, is a veritable camper's paradise, offering primitive camping experiences throughout its stunning dry ponderosa pine and high-country subalpine fir forest habitats. Colville National Forest is a beautiful United States National Forest in northeastern Washington, located adjacent to the Kaniksu and Okanogan National Forests in Colville. Visitors can set up camp along the banks of the beautiful streams of the Kettle Range or choose a place to pitch their tent within the picturesque Salmo-Priest Wilderness Area. 28 developed campground areas are also offered closer to the city center of Colville. Interpretive trails throughout the park tell the tale of logging and mining activities within the forest throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, while preserved archaeological sites near the Pend Oreille River showcase the culture of the region's indigenous people. Visitors can enjoy excellent opportunities for fishing, horseback riding, mountain biking, hunting, cross-country skiing, and snowmobiling throughout the year at the forest.
