About this map

Lake Chelan anchors this high-elevation landscape where the Stehekin River flows from the north to meet the head of the lake. Accessible primarily by boat or plane, the settlement of Stehekin serves as a remote hub for the Wenatchee National Forest. The geography here is defined by dramatic vertical relief, from the shoreline at Stehekin Ferry Landing up to the heights of Tupshin Peak and Rainbow Mountain.

Transport and recreation are central to the area's layout, featuring the Stehekin State Airport and a series of landings and campgrounds like Purple Point Campground and Weaver Point Campground. Significant natural landmarks are documented throughout the drainage basins, including the sheer Painted Rocks, the plume of Rainbow Falls, and Bridal Veil Falls along Bridal Veil Creek. The primitive path of Stehekin Valley Road provides the only major interior passage through the valley, connecting McGregor Meadows to the lakefront.
