Hunting & Fishing

Pateros is the perfect place to launch that family fishing trip. Pateros has two boat launches, plenty of parking, easy access, restrooms, tent and RV sites, free showers, and an RV dump station. Drop into Ives Landing Park RV Park and spend the night. Wake up to a free shower a couple of blocks from a pastry and coffee. Fuel up at the Superstop, grab a breakfast burrito on your way to your favorite hunting grounds. Ives Landing Park is a number one launch for going waterfowl hunting. Open in all weather, the launch gives you access to 20-miles of lake and the Methow and Okanogan Rivers. Just out of town, the Pateros Wildlife Area Unit, one of many areas in the Okanogan, has a diversity of wildlife, including wintering mule deer, raptors, chukar, gray partridge, and California Quail. Within a few miles is the Wells Wildlife Area the Chief Joseph Wildlife Area, and the Methow Wildlife Area.
