Sunrise and sunset sites

One of the many awesome boat up National Forest Service campgrounds along Lake Chelan. Nice lake front spots, with firepits, picnic tables, and pit toilets. No creek nearby, so be sure to have enough fresh water or pull from lake. Bring a water purifying device. Medium sized dock for a few power boats (though walkway to land needs fixing and could be dangerous for small kids), but also easy access beach for kayaking. Cost=Free! No permit required for kayaks, but annual dock permit is required for tying larger boats up to the dock.
