How to get to Curlew Lake State Park
The park sits along State Route 21 about 10 miles north of Republic, roughly 100 miles northwest of Spokane, which is about a two-hour drive on US-395 and SR-20. From Omak to the west the drive is around 60 miles over Wauconda Pass on SR-20, a two-lane mountain highway with grades and curves that require lower gears in larger RVs. Sherman Pass on SR-20 east of Republic is the highest year-round pass in Washington and can have steep grades, seasonal snow, and chain requirements in winter. The closest major airport for fly-and-rent trips is Spokane International Airport (GEG).
