Looking forward to a relaxing vacation in Lake Chelan? We’ve got you covered! In case you’re new to the area, here are some tips that can make your experience more enjoyable.
Getting Around Lake Chelan
There’s a lot of ground to cover in the Lake Chelan Valley, especially if you plan on experiencing the full range of activities it offers. Whether you want to go shopping and dining in downtown Chelan or visiting the top wineries in the area, it helps to plan how you’ll get from point to point.
There are services like Uber, but keep in mind that it typically has limited reach, and the waiting times can often be too long. If you want to check out the sights in downtown Chelan or Manson, it’ll be easier to find a place to park and then enjoy the rest of your day walking around the area, as everything is within walking distance.
For wine tasting, you can book a wine tasting tour, or at least assign a designated driver for your trip so you won’t need to worry about transportation.
Stocking Up
If you’re staying in Lake Chelan for the weekend, stocking up on drinks, snacks, and other essentials beforehand will help you avoid the long weekend lines, especially during the summer when markets and grocery stores tend to fill up quickly. Manson Bay Market or The Meat Shop are great options for shopping.
Plan ahead by creating a list of items and getting everything you need as soon as you get to town will give you more time to enjoy your trip to Lake Chelan.
Accessing the Lake
You can find many public parks located along Lake Chelan’s northern and southern shores where you can quickly find a spot, spread out your beach towel, and soak in the gorgeous views or go for a refreshing dip.
