Lake Chelan National Recreation Area, Washington State

Acreage: 61,957.92
Category: National Recreation Area
Date Established: 10/02/1968

Tucked among the many lakes of the North Cascade National Park, Lake Chelan is so remote that the far Northwest end is only accessible by boat, float plane, or trail. The beautiful lake, surrounded by the North Cascade Range, is the third deepest in the country. Recreational options are boundless—you can boat, fish, camp, backpack, hike, bike, horseback ride, raft, and kayak. The lake is one of the many gems of the North Cascade National Park Complex.
