When you land
Things to do in Chelan
Chelan sits at the southern end of Lake Chelan, a narrow glacial lake that stretches roughly 50 miles into the North Cascades and is one of the deepest lakes in the country. Once known mainly for apple orchards, the area has become eastern Washington’s favorite summer playground, with lakeside resorts, vacation homes, marinas and a fast-growing wine region on the slopes above the water. Tourism, real estate, construction and agriculture drive the local economy, and the population swells every summer.
