The River Trail takes you 4 miles to Weaver Point on
the south shore of Lake Chelan where you will find a large public campground
and a sandy beach for those who like cold water swimming. The way
is mostly
forested and you are only in view of the river along three different stretches.
This is a nice cool hike for a hot day, and comes complete with a few fishing
holes along the way.

The trail-head is 4.5 miles up
valley from the boat landing
and across Harlequin Bridge. Follow Company Creek
Road 125 yards and take a left into the National Park Service maintenance area. Continue straight
ahead to the Stehekin Airport. Heading down-valley (left) along the landing
strip you will find the trail head at the end of the runway.
 |
The trail meanders past creeks coming off the hill side and the Stehekin River as you head toward Weaver Point for some spectacular views looking down the lake on a lazy afternoon.
