Take off with Chelan Airways and enjoy the unique pleasure of flight in a classic amphibious floatplane. See all of Lake Chelan from a "bird's eye" view. Chelan Airways has been providing Lake Chelan air transportation and flightseeing tours since 1945 and has maintained an impeccable safety record. We offer direct flights to Stehekin in approximately 30 minutes and specialize in extended scenic flights high over the North Cascades Mountains and Glaciers.

Cradled in the deepest gorge in North America, Lake Chelan begins deep in the heart of the North Cascades and extends 55 miles into the desert of North Central Washington, offering a spectacular contrast in geography and topography. Lake Chelan's scenic beauty and recreational opportunities are unparalleled.

In the community of Stehekin, at the head of Lake Chelan, you will find a full service lodge, cabin rentals, bed & breakfast and numerous campgrounds. Fishing, bicycling, horseback riding and river rafting are available seasonally as well as world class hiking and tours of the valley.
