Natural Corral Falls, located on the north side of Red Rock Lake in Central Washington, offers a stunning 50-foot waterfall cascading down a basalt ledge into a vast bramble of tall reeds along the lake’s shore. This unique location is perfect for watersport activities like kayaking or stand-up paddleboarding, with a primitive boat ramp available on the lake’s west side, accessible by navigating unmarked roads alongside a train track. This public access lake remains a hidden gem in Central Washington, inviting adventurers to discover its beauty. For those opting to approach the falls on foot, be prepared for a strenuous journey, as no official trail exists to this secluded waterfall.
Positioned between Othello and Vantage, finding the boat launch area can be challenging. It’s crucial to research maps and plan your route in advance.
Navigating steep game trails on the lake’s south end leads to a beach offering views of the falls. The absence of a formal trail demands caution and proper footwear.
In the spring, a surprising 50-foot cascade flows vibrantly over a red rock ledge, gradually reducing to a trickle by late summer, presenting a seasonal spectacle of nature.
The path can be challenging to follow at times, with steep slopes posing a risk. Ensure you wear sturdy boots, as the hike can be demanding on the ankles.
Beyond the allure of Natural Corral Falls, the region boasts opportunities for fishing, paddling, and exploring other geological formations. Another waterfall is located at the lake’s far end; visitors should respect private property boundaries, as only the west shoreline is publicly accessible. Additional designated trail systems nearby enhance this area’s appeal for a day trip filled with hiking and watersport activities. Potholes State Park is also nearby, offering more opportunities for exploration and water-based fun.
Central Washington is rich in geological wonders, from the sand dunes of Hanford Reach National Monument to the unique basalt columns within the Drumheller Channels of the Columbia National Wildlife Refuge. This vast area, known as the Channeled Scablands, showcases columnar basalt formations stemming from ancient volcanic lava flows. Additionally, its unique landscape was carved by catastrophic ice age flooding, offering endless exploration opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts.
