Lake Chelan as seen from the southern shore off of Highway 97. The word Chelan comes from the indian word Tsillian, which means 'deep water'.
Lake Chelan is a narrow, 56-mile-long lake in northern Washington state, USA. It is fed by streams from the Cascade Range and is the third deepest freshwater lake in the country at 1541 feet. The city of Chelan sits at the southeast tip of the lake, where its water flows into the Chelan River through the hydroelectric Lake Chelan Dam. At the northwest end of the lake is the town of Stehekin.
