Manson is a lake-life community where weekends on the water easily become everyday routines. Set along the north shore of Lake Chelan in Chelan County, it sits a short drive from Chelan for dining and services and within easy reach of Wenatchee for regional shopping, medical care, and flights. Wapato Point’s sandy coves and the family-friendly amenities at Wapato Point Resort add resort-caliber fun to ordinary Thursdays, from paddleboarding and swimming to sunset strolls.
Education anchors the community through the well-regarded Manson School District, serving K–12 with small-school attention and robust extracurriculars. Waterfront parks operated by the Manson Parks & Recreation District—including Manson Bay Park and Willow Point Park—offer swim docks, a marina, and picnic lawns with postcard views. Echo Valley’s family-run ski hills and tubing lanes sit minutes above town. Year-round festivities, highlighted by Winterfest fireworks and apple- and grape-season celebrations, are coordinated with the Lake Chelan Chamber of Commerce.
Locals prize the blend of working orchards, walkable tasting rooms, and laid-back streets. Farm stands brim with cherries and honey in summer, and clear nights reward you with star-packed skies. Housing options range from waterfront condos to hillside homes and acreage.
