Hang Gliding & Para Gliding

Lake Chelan is one of the premier hang gliding and paragliding locations in the world. At the 3,700′ level, there are several slopes (E to NW), and at the 3,890′ level slope launches face SE and NW including ridge, thermal and primarily cross-country flying.

The Chelan Butte is a favorite for hang gliders and paragliders throughout the world. In fact, National and World competitions have been held in Chelan in past years and the United States Speed Gliding Championships are scheduled here every few years, as well as other local and regional events. You can drive to the top of the Butte and watch the pilots launch and rise in the thermals.

Most of the road is primitive, and 4-wheel drive vehicles are necessary to get to the top. You can watch gliders from Chelan Falls most days of the summer, or from town during events.

Helicopter Rides

Enjoy the adventure of riding aboard a helicopter or seaplane and catch views of the lake you can’t get any other way. Narrated tours of the Lake Chelan Valley are available. Breakfast, lunch and dinner tours and wine flights are also available.

If you are up for a view of our crystal-clear lake unlike any other, parasailing is a great way to sail high above the water – alone or in tandem. Reach up to 800 feet in the air with options including a “toe-dip” or “atomic drop free-fall,” parasailing can be a relaxing flight over the lake, or an exciting rush for the thrill junkie. Reservations are advised.

River Rafting

Methow Rafting offers guided river trips, tubing, and rentals in the Methow Valley. Whether you’re interested in a scenic, mellow float or an adrenaline filled whitewater adventure, Methow Rafting has got you covered!
