Here in the heart of Washington State, where the warmth of continual sunny skies spotlight our dramatic landscape and natural resources, we invite you to come and play! Nestled in the foothills of the Cascade Mountain Range, in a land carved by glaciers is our playground. North Central Washington invites you with an abundance of outdoor recreation and several wonderful and unique towns that you will want to play in for at least a few weeks, or even a lifetime. Check out all the “Activities” and learn about the variety of hiking, boating, touring, birding, shopping and more. A bit of a thrill seeker? Then peruse “Play” Activities for adventure like white water rafting and kayaking, rock climbing, Nordic and downhill skiing, paragliding and the list goes on! And on! As with all great play days, there’s time for relaxation. Our burgeoning wine industry will tempt you to taste, our spas to release, and our nature walks to unwind. We welcome you to Visit Chelan County!
