    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.

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

    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 did the fireworks cruise and I thought it was very nice! We got the perfect view of the show it…read morewas a peaceful boat ride on the water, they had snacks inside that you could purchase. I will say this .... chelan does not have a lot of people of color. You might see 1 or 2 other black families when traveling there. Tons of Hispanics thought With that said I have NEVER in all 12 years felt uncomfortable in chelan nor has our 30 + group of us that travel there. So I will say this ... the boat ride was the first time we ever felt uncomfortable. The back of the boat was taken over by a large patriotic group that I'm assuming must do that every year. Us other People sat on the opposite side of the boat. And you can definitely feel the divide in the groups. I also feel like the people possibly owners working the food stand inside were not very friendly or welcoming either. I'm still debating if I would recommend this or not? Only time I ever felt uncomfortable in Chelan. So I don't know. Try it out maybe you will have a different experience but I definitely don't want to put our Mixed (Black & White) kids in an environment like that again on a boat.

    This would've been a 5 star review except one huge issue that could cause hospitalization and…read morelawsuits: The shower water temperature situation in the bathrooms. There is a sign on the door that says no hot water. That's fine, whatever, tent campers get cold showers while paying for full hookups like we did so we could have electricity but we get cold showers because we are sleeping in tents. But this was not the issue. The issue is that the hot water is turned on sometimes... and there is no warning and no way to regulate the temp that comes out of the shower head. For whatever reason the faucet, while turning left and right - effects nothing. Now, if the water coming out was a nice warm 105 to 110 degrees that would be fine. But this was so hot it burned my daughters head and she only had it under the shower for the time it took to turn the water on, scream and move away. So, I went and got my meat thermometer and tested it. 167 degrees Fahrenheit. I highly doubt the legal department at PUD is aware of the water temperature streaming out of that shower head. One more thing about that water. We were told they turned on the hot water because the water for one of the RV'ers wasn't working. What? I'm confused on this tidbit. We also bought an RV space. Why the plain discrimination against tenters who are paying full rates? Why not warm water for all? But please, before that, fix the temperature problem first. If my daughter had been 2 instead of 21 her skin would have blistered and there would've been a hospital trip. Other than the hot water issue the campground is very nice, windy like a tropical storm, but beautiful. Be aware, camping has recently changed to reservation only.
