The area is noted for fantastic fishing and camping in the summer and plenty of snow in the winter. The reservoir and lake provide water for orchardists in the Omak-Okanogan Irrigation District. Cemetery Known primarily as a town not opposed to a lynching now and then, Conconully had its share of run-ins with the bad men of the west. Jailbreaks were frequent as were troubles with Indians. Situated in the Okanogan Highlands, a large section of north-central Washington, Conconully was settled by white prospectors who founded the booming silver mining camps of Ruby City and Salmon City that were only a few miles apart.
Some original buildings remain along with a small population.
The area is now a State Park with a modern campground. Submitted by Henry Chenoweth.
