Lake Chelan State Park, State park on Lake Chelan in Chelan County, United States
Lake Chelan State Park extends across 127 acres of forested land, featuring 6,000 feet of shoreline with sandy beaches and large grass areas.
The park land holds significance from 1880 when Colonel John Merriam established a military post, leading to civilian settlement beginning in 1886.
The name Chelan originates from Salish indigenous language, combining meanings of lake and blue water, reflecting Native American presence in this region.
The park provides 109 tent spaces, 35 utility spaces, restrooms, showers, and requires visitors to obtain a Discover Pass for vehicle entry.
A monument at Earthquake Point marks the location where a landslide once blocked the Columbia River, creating a permanent geological record.
