Lake Chelan has been a classic family getaway for decades, where the 55 miles of fresh water promise plenty of space to have fun. The name is derived from the native word tsilaan, which means "deep water" referring to the fact that Lake Chelan is also the third deepest lake in the country, next to Crater Lake and Lake Tahoe.

While visiting the Lake Chelan Valley, take time to stroll through small town America. There is something about Lake Chelan that makes you feel at home. People wave at each other, store owners greet you by name, and folks use any excuse to gather along the sidewalk just to catch up on community news.

With over 200 acres of wine grapes and more than a dozen wineries, the Lake Chelan Valley is the ultimate wine-lovers vacation destination.

If you enjoy golfing, you’ll love the six courses within a short distance of one another in the Lake Chelan area.

Lake Chelan has become a popular year-round fishing destination. Anglers consistently catch Cutthroat Trout, Lake Trout, Burbot Cod (Lingcod), Bass, and other game fish. Pikeminnow is considered to be the best bait for jigging or trolling.

If the snow is already falling you will find skiing and 150 miles of groomed snowmobile trails for your enjoyment.

“With the world’s greatest concentration of inland waters, plentiful rainforest and a string of striking volcanoes, Nicaragua is considered one of Central America’s hottest adventure destinations.

Join us hiking, kayaking and sailing in this lush wonderland rich with colonial and indigenous history before the rest of the world discovers this place of striking beauty and fascinating culture.

Nearly one-fifth of Nicaragua is forest reserves filled with toucans, parrots, monkeys and iguana in a land of more than 50 volcanoes. We’ll swim in the warm waters of one extinct crater and hike around the steaming Crater Santiago

where green parakeets roost above smoldering lava. Your travels will take you to a native artisan market, authentic highland villages and to historic León and Granada, where brightly painted colonial homes reflect one of the oldest European settlements in the Western Hemisphere.  Relaxation matches exhilaration as you kayak the bird-rich Archipiélago de Las Isletas, a chain of 354 islands, visit the sweet beaches along the sweeping half moon bay of the little fishing village of San Juan del Sur and sail all day along the beautiful Pacific coast – all part of Central America’s best-kept secret.”

Nicaragua is slowly becoming discovered for its world-class sport fishing. Pacific offshore fishing will score you Black Marlin, Sailfish, Tuna, Wahoo, and Dorado. Nicaragua’s inshore fishing can be just as exciting, and will score you Rooster Fish, Jacks, Barracudas, and Mackerels. With sea life teeming along Nicaragua’s Pacific coast, you can expect to see Jacks swimming in the waves you paddle out through, and don’t be surprised if you hook a Wahoo or Dorado just a couple hundred yards off the beach! The nicest thing about fishing out of San Juan del Sur is that you will most likely be able to count the other boats you see all day on one hand! San Juan del Sur offers a variety of sport fishing options
