When spring finally rolls into the Lake Chelan Valley, it brings sunshine, fresh air, and the kind of energy that makes you want to get outside and do all the things. And at Wapato Point Resort, you don’t have to go far to enjoy it all. Whether you’re starting the day with a lakeside paddle, exploring local spots in Manson, or keeping it simple with a game of bocce and a firepit hang, this is your spring reset—done right.
If you’re ready for a full week of lake vibes, mountain air, and low-key adventures, we’ve got the perfect guide to help you make the most of it.
Day 1: Arrive + Unwind
Check-In & Settle In
Kick off your getaway by settling into your unit. Unpack, pour a drink, and take a deep breath—you’re on lake time now.
Evening Stroll Along the Waterfront
Before dinner, stretch your legs with a walk along Wapato Point’s scenic paths. The lake glows with that soft spring light, and the surrounding hills are just starting to green up.
Dinner & Firepit Vibes
Wrap up the night with a dinner worthy of your vacation kick-off at the Winemaker’s Grill & Wine Bar, then head back to the resort and make your way to the firepit with your people. Don’t worry if you forgot to pack your marshmallows—s’mores kits are available at the Kiosk!
