According to Wikipedia:

Daroga State Park is a 90-acre Washington state park located on the Columbia River north of Orondo along the edge of Washington's Channeled Scablands.

The park has of river shoreline and offers picnicking, camping, boating, fishing, swimming, waterskiing, birdwatching, wildlife viewing, and other athletic facilities.

The park occupies land that was once part of the agricultural holdings of orchard man Grady Auvil. The name "Daroga" was coined using the names of the Auvil brothers — David, Robert, and Grady — and was first applied to the Daroga peach.

Following the construction of the Rocky Reach Dam and the creation of Lake Entiat, the park was created on a flooded portion of the Auvil orchard.
