Beebe Springs Natural Area- Okanogan Home Inspection

On a trip back from one of my recent home inspections I stopped by Beebe Spring Natural Area. This is a 185 acre park located just north of Beebe Bridge and Beebe Bridge Park by the Chelan and Okanogan county border.

I have been watching this project go on for several years and decided it was time to stop and take a stroll through the park.

The project included taking an agricultural ditch and converting it into an 1800 foot meandering stream. They project designers The Watershed Company , planted many native plants and created spawning grounds for salmon.

The park has several interpretive signs about the local native people “The Chelan Tribe” and their traditions here.

                            
What I found most interesting were the sculptures that are in the park depicting early native life scenes. These sculptures were commissioned by a local Colville artist Smoker Marchand. His main piece “The Chief” catches your eye from the road and as you enter the park.

                           
                   
The area may be a good place to catch a few of our feathered friends also. The wind on this day made it very tough for catching them still enough for me to photograph many. But I was able to get this gregarious fellow to sit still long enough for me.

                                        

If you are traveling up highway 97 north towards Pateros it would be worth a short visit to stop and wander through the park.
