Hiking
The Chelan Ranger District contains 422,000 acres surrounding the middle and upper lake reaches
of Lake Chelan. Fourteen major trailheads provide starting points for 250 miles of maintained
summer trails. Trails in the back-country include over 60 miles of varied terrain north and south of
Lake Chelan. These trails are open to motorcycles, horses, mountain bikers and hikers. The remaining
190 miles of summer trails are non-motorized.
Within the Glacier Peak and Lake Chelan-Sawtooth Wilderness Areas, trails are open to hikers and
most sections are also open to horses and similar stock animals. Within the Glacier Peak Wilderness
the group size for hiking, riding and camping is limited to 12 heartbeats, including stock animals. Echo
Ridge Summer Trails within the Lake Chelan-Sawtooth Wilderness the group size is limited to 12
people and up to 18 head of stock. Trail opportunities are many. They range from short day hikes
near Chelan, Lucerne Landing and Holden Village areas, to overnight trips across the high elevation
Summit Trail with its pristine alpine lakes and cirques sprinkled over the Lake Chelan-Sawtooth
Mountain Range.
The Pacific Crest Trail travels down the Agnes Creek Trail’s old growth alley and also serves as the
connection between the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest and the North Cascades National
Park’s Lake Chelan National Recreation Area. Motorcycle enthusiasts love both riding to the high
alpine lakes to the north of the lake, and the exciting terrain of the Devil’s Backbone Trail.
