Wapato is a rare treasure of the American West. Originally deeded to members of the Wapato family of the Entiat Indian Nation under Chief Moses Agreement in 1884, the family still owns the land and leases it to a private corporation for development. Located on the north side of the Lake about seven miles from the city of Chelan, this small peninsula of land is a nearly endless beehive of vacation activities summer and winter.

Because of mutual respect for the land, Wapato Point today is an amazing preserved 116 meticulously groomed acres that strongly supports environmental values. It offers visitors over 2 miles of unspoiled lakeside waterfront under sunny skies. The recreational choices available here are truly impressive, ranging from water slides to lighted tennis courts. There are facilities for basketball, baseball and soccer. Boats and bikes are available for rent as are fishing poles and cross country skis - even ice skates!

Located nearby is the Wapato Point Cellar, famous for its syrah and pinot grigio wines. The beautiful grounds of the winery are the site of many lovely summer weddings as well as memorable wine tastings and picnics.

Local events throughout the year include the Manson Apple Blossom Festival, the King Salmon Derby, the Classic Car Show, the Chelan Hang Glider Classic, the Lake Chelan Rodeo and the Fire & Ice Winterfest. From gourmet dinners featuring regional ingredients to games on the green grass, Wapato Point is an experience that can be described only as all the fun you can imagine. And then some!
