Fun in the sun at Lake Chelan - 2022's BNWE

Lake Chelan reportedly gets 300 days of sun a year, which makes it the perfect spot to soak up some sweet, sweet Vitamin D. #k5evening

CHELAN COUNTY, Wash. — Lake Chelan is the winner of Best Boating and Best Place to Soak Up the Sun in 2022's Best Northwest Escapes viewer poll.

Lake Chelan reportedly gets, on average, 300 days of sun per year. For those of us who live in rainy Western Washington, this is like paradise on earth — and most likely one of the reasons why Lake Chelan won Best Place to Soak Up the Sun. There's nothing like taking a walk around the lake on a sunny day, or jumping on your boat and cruising the water under clear skies. Speaking of boats, Lake Chelan also won Best Boating — which speaks for itself. The lake offers 50 and a half miles of water for happy boaters.

Lake Chelan State Park

Lake Chelan State Park has a nice long beach, plenty of room for camping, and gorgeous hiking trails — so it's no surprise that it won Best Campground!

This is a place families come back to every single year — a 139-acre camping park on the south shore of Lake Chelan with 6,000 feet of shoreline. Sounds good to me!
