Boating & Water Sports

In addition to a 50.5 mile long lake, you’ll find numerous smaller lakes and waterways nearby. The majestic Columbia River lies just four miles east – providing plenty of opportunities to enjoy whatever kind of boating activity you like best: sightseeing, water-skiing, jet-skiing, parasailing, kayaking, canoeing, rowing, tubing, paddle boating, and cruising are all popular ways to enjoy the water. You will also see windsurfers and sailboats, especially up lake in the Lucerne Basin and near Stehekin, where the winds are the most consistent. Public boat launches can be found along Lake Chelan’s south shore at both 25-Mile Creek & Lake Chelan State Parks; along the north shore at Mill Bay Park; and in Chelan at Riverwalk Park and the three marinas. Boats can also be launched on the Columbia River at Chelan Falls Park, Powerhouse Park, and Beebe Bridge Park.
