Lake Chelan State Park, Washington

When you look at Lake Chelan on a map, you would think, “That’s no lake! That there is a river.” But if you zoomed in enough you would in fact see that there are two distinct ends. It’s just a very long, narrow lake. Lake Chelan is located along this interesting geographical feature’s south shore, with over a mile of shoreline to entertain all your aquatic fun time desires. Canoeing, kayaking, swimming, fishing, you name it. If it has something to do with water, you can probably do it. Summers are hot and dry here, which makes diving into the lake that much more tempting. If you’d rather work up a sweat first, you can go for a hike, bump around a volleyball or toss some horseshoes. Although, if you break a sweat tossing horseshoes you should probably get that checked out. Basically, what we’re trying to say here is that Lake Chelan state park offers a pretty idyllic lake experience. Who cares if it looks weird?
