I enjoy camping. I am not a fan of sleeping outside in a tent, but I do enjoy the outdoors. My husband is aware of this fact, so few years ago he bought an RV. That was one of the smartest things that he has done in our marriage history.

Camping in Washington has, by far, the most beautiful scenery around. Washington RV camping is a great experience for anyone to have. It gives the freedom just to pick up and go. All your supplies are already packed in your RV. You can just get up and go.

If you’re looking for a scenic kayaking trip that’s not too difficult to navigate, then you’ll want to check out the Old Devils Lake Trip on Banks Lake. I found the route in the book Adventure Kayaking: Inland Waters of the Western United States. The trip is six miles long and can be completed in three hours.

During this Eastern Washington kayaking adventure you’ll witness all the beauty of a high-desert lake. You’ll want to paddle near Steamboat Rock, a peninsula that juts out into the lake. The basaltic cliffs are gorgeous to behold. When the journey is complete, be sure to check out the visitor center at Dry Falls or Lenore Caves.

050508fishingsjp.jpgWashington is a great state for fishing, and is well renowned amongst fishermen around the U.S. as one of the best. Perhaps the reason so many fishermen like Washington is because it offers such a wide range of fishing destinations. In Washington it’s possible to fish off a dock into the Puget Sound, fish off a boat right into Pacific Ocean, float down the Snake River with a rod and reel, or cast a line into Banks Lake. Washington fishing also offers an excellent assortment of different fish species. In Washington, there are salmon, cod, flounder, bass, trout, and much more.

For the ultimate fishing vacation, think about starting in Western Washington, and hitting the Puget Sound. In the Sound there are all kinds of fish, including the Northwest favorite, flatfish or flounder. Once done in Puget Sound, head east over the Cascade mountains, but don’t forget to hit a few of the rivers on the way there in search of trout and salmon. Once over the Cascade Mountains, head to Banks Lake where the bass fishing has never been better. Banks Lake is also quite deep, so trolling can also be a fun activity in the lake.
