Lake Chelan is fjord-like. It is about 50 miles long (over 81 km) and averages 1.3 miles (2 km) wide. At the upper (north) end the lake lies between mountain ridges that soar up 6600 feet (2000 m). There is a boat that runs from the town of Chelan at the southern end to Stehekin at the north end. It makes a lovely day trip with stops at 25 Mile and Lucerne on the way.
