Pearrygin Lake State Park is a 743-acre camping park in the Methow Valley in north central Washington. The park features expansive green lawns leading to 11,000 feet of waterfront on Pearrygin Lake. The lake offers swimming, fishing and boating. Old willows and ash provide shade on hot summer days.

Winter temperatures reach well below zero. Summer temperatures are in the 80s and 90s. There is an annual average rainfall of 11 inches, with an average annual six inches of snow.

Pleistocene glaciation formed the Methow Valley and all the little valleys which hold lakes in the area. Pearrygin Lake's waters come from underground springs and Pearrygin Creek, two natural sources. Water flows down off surrounding mountains into the Pearrygin Lake basin.

The park opened in 1964 as a state park recreation area. Renovation and construction of the campground was done in 1972. In 2004, 94 acres, including a store, hayfield and the West Campground were added to the park.

A Discover Pass is required for vehicle access to Washington state parks for day use. For more information about the Discover Pass and exemptions, please visit the Discover Pass web page.

Two cabins are reservable from April 25 through October 29. Each cabin sleeps four and is equipped with heat and lights, single bunk-beds, double bed, small cook stove, refrigerator, sink with hot water, microwave, coffee maker and toilet. Bathroom and showers nearby.
