Park Details:
Lake Chelan rests in a glacially carved trought in the Cascades Range. With a depth of 1500 feet, it is one of the nation's deepest laeks, offering opportunities for boating and fishing. Though the average width is less than 2 miles, the lake extends almost 55 miles into the Cascade Mountains. At its deepest point, Lake Chelan drops to 400 feet below sea level. The upper 4 miles of this lake are in the National Recreation Area as is the Stehekin River drainage.
