Things to Do in Leavenworth – Memorial Day Weekend 2023

Looking for more of a challenge?

Icicle Gorge Nature Loop is a great 4.2- mile loop near Leavenworth. While it’s still a good workout with an increase of 150 feet elevation, it’s much easier than some of the other mountain hikes. You’ll enjoy stunning river views, and many bird watchers also frequent this area. Leashed dogs are allowed. 

May through September is prime river rafting season. Book a guided excursion with a local outfitter and have a splash-tastic time out on the rapids. The knowledgeable and experienced crews at Osprey Rafting Company, Orion River Rafting, or Blue Sky Outfitters will make sure you have a safe and memorable experience. 

Visit the Reindeer Farm

Just one mile outside of town you can visit a reindeer farm. Guests will have an opportunity to hand-feed, interact with, and marvel at this protected species. Depending on the time of year, there are a variety of different tours to choose from. Come see why Tripadvisor ranks this as one of the top things to do in Leavenworth! 

Did you know that the Audubon Society listed Leavenworth as one of the best birding hotspots in the state? You won’t have to go too far, as Waterfront Park is a great spot to encounter a wide variety of riparian birds. Read more about birding in Leavenworth here.  

Guten Appetit

You can’t visit Leavenworth without trying some German food. Whether you grab a bratwurst and a beer from one of the lively beer gardens, satisfy your sweet tooth with a ginger snap or a Lebkuchen heart cookie from The Gingerbread Factory, or sit down to a hearty serving of goulash or schnitzel at local favorite Andreas Keller Restaurant, we guarantee you won’t leave hungry!
