Chelan County, WA Public Conduct: Public Alcohol Use (2026)

010(5) bars alcoholic beverages of any kind or nature from being displayed or consumed in public view within a park, except within designated campsites or established picnic areas, and it forbids intoxicated persons from any park. The rule applies to every county park in the unincorporated area and turns on visibility and location rather than a flat ban: drinking is allowed only inside a designated campsite or an established picnic area, and never anywhere else in view of the public. The same subsection carries its own consequence separate from the chapter-wide penalty, stating that persons violating this section are subject to removal from the park and their right to use the park may be revoked.

That gives park staff authority to expel a violator on the spot and to bar their future access, independent of any criminal citation. 010(6) similarly confines recreational and medical marijuana use to what state law allows and flatly bans any recreational use in county parks, showing the same designated-area approach the county takes to alcohol.
