flag Steptoe Butte State Park reopens February 15, 2026, after a year-long closure due to flood damage and a $3.4 million upgrade.

flag Steptoe Butte State Park in Whitman County will reopen on February 15, 2026, after being closed nearly a year due to flood damage and a $3.4 million road repaving and safety upgrade project. flag Initial plans to reopen in January were delayed by severe weather, including flooding and snow, which damaged the lower restroom area and slowed repairs. flag A summer strike by construction workers also contributed to the delay. flag The project includes resurfacing four miles of road, replacing guardrails, and adding safety features. flag Officials emphasize that entering the park while closed is illegal, with five citations issued in November.
