Lake Chelan is the largest lake in Washington and certainly one of the most scenic, especially on this stretch from Twenty-Five Mile Creek State Park to the Prince Creek campground. The tallest mountains and steepest shoreline on the lake are found in this section, where Pyramid Mtn rises 7,000 feet from the shore in little more than 3 miles and the cliffs on the east side rise 4,000 feet in just over a mile. The shadier south and west shores harbor dense conifer forests while the eastern and northern shores are generally dry and rocky, with little vegetation other than grass and shrubs. There are multiple campgrounds along the lake with a dock or beach, making the lake ideal for a weekend or multi-day adventure. Watch out for wind, which is usually strongest in the afternoon.
