High Prairie is located in Klickitat County Washington. It is about 10 miles North West of Lyle, Washington.  High Prairie is an isolated neighborhood bordered on the north and west by the Klickitat River, on the east by Swale Canyon, and on the south by the Columbia Mountains. Goldendale is 25 miles to the east. Farming and stock raising have been the principal industries.

Indians roamed the area in the early days and there were several farms on High Prairie owned by Indians. The first white settlers came to High Prairie in 1877. Mr. Chester Parshall and a young man named John Varker, started out from California, to go farther north and find a location for their new homes. They came by wagon to The Dalles, Oregon then traveled to the Washington side of the Columbia River. They stood on the Columbia mountains and looked over into what later became known as High Prairie. It was a land about ten miles square, hills and canyons and valleys, with timber scattered around.

I currently have a listing in High Prairie. It is 20 acres of dividable land with a house, 2 barns, meadows, oak trees, and 3 seasonal creeks. The price is $379,000. http://www.rmls.com/  #7026212  http://amymcallisterrealty.vflyer.com/3/index.html
