Old Wauconda

Old Wauconda is best known in Washington for the gold-mining district that brought prospectors to this part of Okanogan County around the turn of the 20th century. The former settlement lies in the Okanogan Highlands, close to Wauconda Pass, where State Route 20 crosses a high, forested stretch of northeastern Washington. Its name recalls the period when mining camps and supply stops served claims scattered through these uplands. Old Wauconda is best understood as a surviving trace of the region’s mining heritage rather than a conventional town destination.
