R ecreation to the east. To get there, head out of downtown Chelan and turn left onto Millard Street at the sign for Chelan Butte Road. Follow it up beyond the pavement and then choose your adventure. Continue on Chelan Butte Road to drop down to the other side of the hills to Stayman Flats or go up Butte Lookout Road for views of Lake Chelan and Lake Entiat.
North Shore Drives
friendly and offers individual and family memberships as well as being open to the public. For information or to become a member www.chelangunclub. com.
South Shore Drives
A drive along the south shore will lead you to Fields Point, a small park with picnic tables, a swimming hole and an informational kiosk with a 3-D relief map of the Lake Chelan basin. Continuing on, the pavement ends at 25 Mile Creek.
For the next section a four-wheel drive vehicle is necessary. Get on to 25 Mile Creek Road and then Shady Pass Road. Follow it and this will turn into Forest Road 5900, bringing you past Junior Point Look-out and then over the mountains and into the Entiat valley. You can also take 25 Mile Creek Road up to Shady Pass Road and into the Ramona Park area. Then head on to Forest Road 8410, which will bring you along Slide Ridge and into the Windy Camp and Stormy Mountain areas for some fantastic views.
Note of caution: These roads can get very confusing and sometimes forks in the road are unsigned, so it’s advised to get a map of the Wenatchee National Forest from Chelan Ranger Station. Check your route with them and make sure the roads are passable. T h e d i r t ro a d t h a t w i nds up Chelan Butte makes for a shorter trip. The butte rises above downtown Chelan to an elevation of 3,800 feet, and offers unbeatable views of Chelan and the lake, the Columbia River and the flatlands
The north shore offers a relaxed, well-traveled path to Manson on Highway 150, about eight miles from downtown Chelan. Manson is full of apple orchards and new agri-tourism businesses, including an ever-growing number of wineries and boasts the Manson Loop. The loop begins in downtown Manson and then goes west along Wapato Way. Turn right onto Manson Boulevard and drive up the hill to Summit Boulevard. Take it north to Loop Avenue and then down to the left turn onto Manson Boulevard. Go east to the right turn onto Wapato Lake Road, then head south (Wapato Lake will be on your left and Roses Lake on your right) until you hit Roses Lake Avenue. Turn right and head west, then turn left onto Green Avenue. Back up the hill and then down the hill brings you back to into downtown Manson. Maps and information on these routes are available at the Chelan Ranger Station Office at 428 W. Woodin Ave.
