Chelan Riverwalk Park

Located at 506 S. Wapato Avenue in downtown Chelan, this concrete boat ramp provides convenient access to both the Stehekin River and Lake Chelan. The facility is ideal for kayakers and canoeists looking for a shorter paddling experience, as the Chelan River offers a more manageable alternative to paddling the expansive main lake. This is an excellent launch point for those less experienced or intimidated by Lake Chelan's size.

The ramp is situated within Chelan Riverwalk Park, which offers scenic views and easy pedestrian access to the water. From here, paddlers can explore the Stehekin River's gentle character or venture onto the calmer sections near the river's confluence with Lake Chelan. The downtown location makes this a particularly accessible option with nearby amenities. For more extensive paddling adventures, Lake Chelan State Park and smaller nearby lakes also offer additional recreation opportunities in the area.
