Lake Chelan is a long, narrow lake winding more than 50 miles through north-central Washington State. The lake is fairly isolated, especially in its northern reaches, and sparsely populated. The City of Chelan is the largest and while it's fairly small, it does offer unique experiences to visitors. Popular activities include swimming, fishing, visiting local vineyards, camping, hiking, exploring the wilderness, and much more. While the summer months are best for swimming, the lake is a year-round attraction. Lake Chelan Map
