Fishing on the lake is one of the main reasons for visiting. The water is filled with different kinds of trout, suckers and whitefish for you to catch — a fisherman’s dream. The Lake Chelan State Park has miles of shoreline, grassy areas to play and camp in, and trails to hike. On the water you can go boating, swimming — even water skiing! Boating is ideal on the lake, where you can rent or bring your own, from canoes and kayaks to paddle boards. Spend your days by the lake in the summer sun, where you can have picnics and look out onto the water. The Lake Chelan area is also known for its wineries, with perfect apples and pears growing along with grapes. The Lake Chelan Wine Valley will help you relax on your lake vacation. Visit the vineyards for tours and wine tastings, for example at Tsillan Cellars Winery, and bring some bottles back with you!
