Overview

Boudler Park is a snowkite spot on the central plateau of Washington State, near Waterville, at 796 meters altitude. This vast agricultural plateau transforms into an ideal snowkite playground in winter when snow covers the open fields. The flat, unobstructed terrain offers unlimited space in all directions, with regular winds crossing the plateau. It is one of the best snowkite spots in the Pacific Northwest thanks to the absence of obstacles and reliable snow conditions.
