The town of Stehekin
• Trail information
• More recreation ideas
Stehekin, in the heart of Lake Chelan National Recreation Area, is a remote community situated along the lower few miles of the Stehekin River. It is a small community with no road connections to the rest of the world, making it a pleasant escape from life's frantic pace.
Visitors and residents arrive by passenger ferry or private boat, hiking, horseback, or float plane. Boaters using federal docks on Lake Chelan need to purchase a dock site pass to utilize any of the 16 public docks provided there.
When you arrive at Stehekin, come to the National Park Service's Golden West Visitor Center for information.
In the Golden West Gallery, the Arts and Humanities of Stehekin presents arts, crafts and programs by local and regional artists. Shows change every four weeks from May through October.
The North Cascades Stehekin Lodge offers overnight accommodations, a restaurant, store, gasoline, boat moorage, bus tours and bicycle and boat rentals at Stehekin Landing.
Other businesses provide services during the summer season, including transportation, day and overnight horseback trips into the wilderness, bicycle rentals, and guided raft trips down the Stehekin River. Several businesses provide food and overnight accommodations on private property in the Stehekin Valley.
Trailheads and campgrounds along the Stehekin Valley Road can be accessed by National Park Service and private shuttle buses.
During the summer season the lodge operates a tour bus to beautiful Rainbow Falls. The tour bus leaves from the Landing just after the boat arrives.
