The hotel where my conference was taking place was down by the bottom of the lake in Chelan.  I decided to have a stroll one evening and, as soon as I came out of the hotel, I saw signs for a Riverwalk.  It wasn’t a long walk but it took me down one side of the river, over a bridge, back up the other side and then another bridge back to where I had started.  There were a few people out and about but it was still pretty quiet.

There was a small park area along the river with a pavilion.  I’m not sure what sort of events they hold there in the peak season but it would seem like a nice spot to hang out and watch performers doing their thing.  They also had some elevated boardwalk sections.  With the water level so low, these were a long way above the water but I imagine they are quite close when the water is at its peak.

They had installed some art work along one side of the river.  There was a sculpture about wolves and salmon which related to Native American stories of why the lake doesn’t have salmon.  They also had boards of the bodies in the solar system spaced out along the river in proportion to their distance from the sun.  I imagine the whole area gets very busy during the summer but it was a nice spot to stroll while visiting in March!
