Methow Valley / Winthrop - Nearby Destinations

Chelan
|
|
|
| |
Small town Chelan is located at the tail-end of Lake Chelan, east of the Cascades. With mild temperatures and 55-miles of recreational water, the area is a popular destination in the summer. One of the deepest lakes in America, Lake Chelan is slow to warm to swimming temperatures, but recreational boaters and fisherman aren't usually deterred. Reel in salmon, trout, bass or burbot and throw some fresh fish filets on the grill for dinner. Book a guide for some angling time on the Columbia River if you don't have access to your own boat. |

Lake Roosevelt
|
|
|
| |
More than just another dam attraction, Grand Coulee dam is the largest concrete structure in the United States. Built initially to irrigate land in the region -- and the dusty desert landscape around Grand Coulee suggests why this was so important when the project was conceived in 1917 -- it also provides power to a lot of the Northwest. In damming the Columbia River, Franklin D. Roosevelt Lake was created, a 150-mile stretch of water garnished with campgrounds and boat launches. With this much lake-room in which to maneuver, house-boating is an understandably popular way to cruise. |

North Cascades National Park
|
|
|
| |
Jagged snow-dusted peaks, glaciers, waterfalls and shadowy valleys
compete for attention in North Cascades National Park. Glacially cold
Ross Lake spills over into Canada at the north end, a popular
destination for canoers and kayakers. Lake Chelan noses into the
south tail of the park, and visitors can connect by boat down to
Chelan. Traversed by 386 miles of hiking trails and dotted with
designated backcountry campsites, North Cascades serves up solitude
with mountain scenery. |

Omak
|
Population: 4721
|
|
| |
Omak, Washington is a small town alongside State Route 97. Although
often used as a sort of pit stop for travelers to and from Canada, it
is most famous for the Omak Stampede. Omak is proud of its
Westernness, but its natural heritage is not to be overlooked. The
cutthroat-filled Omak Lake and its trophy-size fish draws many
fishermen and parks are readily found in this pleasantly uncrowded town. |
