Don Morse Memorial Park

Of all the public lakefront recreational areas around Chelan, Don Morse Memorial Park is always our…read morego-to place whenever we're in town. Parking will run you $10 (2 hours) or $15 (6 hours). There is also a 24-hr rate, but I can't recall what it is. For the best parking access, utilize the lot adjacent to the Lakeshore RV Park (TIP: If there's a line at the parking lot pay station, or it's out-of-order, you can pay for parking at the Lakeshore RV Park Front Gate). The parking lot can easily fill up by 11 AM or noon on weekends and spring/summer holidays, so keep this in mind when considering the day of the week you'll be visiting and when you plan to arrive. The park's grounds include a skate park, sand volleyball pits, basketball courts, playground, concession stand, grassy areas, restrooms, some tree-shaded spots, picnic tables, good-sized beach and roped-off swimming area. There's also a boat launch and marina (where it's possible to fish). A go-kart track and miniature golf course are situated in-between the marina (south) parking lot and the RV (north) parking lot, but these are privately run businesses. The only negative of Don Morse Memorial Park is the hourly rate (and maybe the capacity) of the parking lot. Despite this, I still think this park deserves a 5-star review--it's just too good in terms of the layout and amenities it offers.

What a park and place for family and friends to hang for the day. It has it all. You can pay for…read moreparking and stay for day. Kid toys, tennis courts, volleyball courts, basketball courts, swing set, beach area, Shoreline Watercraft And Boat Rentals, CLean new Bathrooms, and a Small food place that has snacks and shave ice in the summer. Great vibe . Large grass area where we put up a shade tent and set up yard game to have a picnic in the park. There are even covered areas. Not sure but maybe you rent those. Large beach area and lots of parking. Plus sand volleyball courts. Super fun day with our friends and family. We enjoy it here and can walk to town. Or if staying at Campbell's or camping at park it's walking distance too.

Lady of the Lake - Lady of the Lake four hour ferry service from Chelan to Stehekin, July 2025

Lady of the Lake

I recently traveled to Stehekin via Lady of the Lake (and back to Chelan) and while I'm very…read moregrateful for the existence and convenience of this ferry service - especially in such a remote and beautiful location - I have to say the overall experience left much to be desired. First, the positives: The staff I interacted with were friendly, and the actual ride to Stehekin was extremely comfortable and offered absolutely stunning views of Lake Chelan. It's a truly unique experience to be ferried deep into the North Cascades and Lady of the Lake provides an essential service for hikers and visitors heading to remote destinations like Stehekin. However, my experience was unfortunately impacted by poor communication and inconsistent service. Less than 24 hours before our departure, I received an email stating that there was a mechanical issue with the Lady Express and that a different vessel might be used. The message asked passengers to arrive 30 minutes early to help accommodate everyone, which we did. However, there was not a clear explanation of what the replacement vessel would be or how it would differ. Most notably, it was only once I boarded the boat that I learned I was on the four hour ferry, not the 2.5 hour express ferry I had originally booked and paid for. The significant time difference was not mentioned in the email nor was there any reference to compensation or a refund for the downgraded experience. What's worse, when I reached out for follow-up or clarification - twice - I never received a response. I understand mechanical issues arise but the lack of accountability and customer service is extremely disappointing and continues to leave a bad taste in what could have otherwise been a beautiful and seamless journey. The ferry back from Stehekin to Chelan was on the express vessel, but it was overcrowded and uncomfortably warm. It appeared they were attempting to accommodate passengers who had booked express service on a different vessel, leading to what felt like an over capacity situation. I know Lady of the Lake plays an important role in the region, and I sincerely hope the company improves its communication, reliability, and responsiveness - especially when plans change or services are altered. The unexpected change in arrival time significantly impacted my plans in Stehekin and I would have made different choices had that information been communicated clearly the day before. All in all, visitors deserve timely, transparent communication, particularly in a place as remote and special as Chelan and Stehekin.

We took the boat to Stehekin and it was great! Strongly recommend--a must do when you're in town!read more

I had to stop here to use the bathroom after driving an ungodly amount of hours and everything that…read moreDenice R. said about this place is true. I was very very very surprise at how pristine this park is. Everything about it screams well maintained. The grass is perfectly manicured and well watered. The bathrooms and super clean. The parking lot has zero trash in it. The trashcans are empty and not full of garbage. The tennis courts are not trashy and the netting and in good order. All the grilling stations and pavilions are well swept and perfect. It's almost overwhelming that so many people come to this lovely spot right on the waterfront and it has so much variety in things to do there that it's in such perfect working order. Especially with 56 acres of land to maintain. Kudos to the grounds keeping and maintenance staff. There is a lot of space to park your RV/camper and dump (for a fee), get out and stretch your legs and toss a Frisbee around, launch your boat, walk the dog, play horseshoes, go to the loo, grill and chill, swim and/or take a shower. I mean....it is really remarkable. Also there is a lot of space to just take a walk and get a good work out. If you're ever in the area and need somewhere to relax or park your RV or let loose the kids, stop here first. Check the website, it's really helpful when it comes to reservations. Camping is available on a "first come - first serve" basis.

One of the nicest, cleanest campgrounds I have ever visited. Huge sites and pristine landscaping…read more Well done!
