What is the deepest lake in Washington State?

When Peter Frampton was on the “Alive 35 Tour” he took a two-week break and stayed there in a room with a balcony overlooking the water. After his vacation from touring, he played a show at the Deepwater Amphitheatre at Mill Bay Casino in Manson and brought down the house.
You will find Lake Chelan located in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains. Lake Chelan was formed thousands of years ago when the glaciers melted and dragged across the rugged rocks.
