The Sinlahekin Wildlife Area includes a total of about 19,500 acres in three units in central Okanogan County. Elevation ranges from 280 feet on the Driscoll Island unit to over 4,000 feet on the Sinlahekin, which comprises most of this wildlife area. The Sinlahekin is the oldest wildlife area in Washington, with the first parcels purchased in 1939 using federal Pittman-Robertson funds to preserve mule deer winter range. Fishing, hunting, camping and hiking are very popular.
