Surrounded by the Huckleberry and Sleeker mountains and located near Collie and Chinks National Forests, Chewelah is a recreational dream.

And for bird lovers, the summer brings an array of feathered friends to the skies, including quail, snow owls and golden and bald eagles.

Water sports abound here as well. Hundreds of lakes and streams offer a variety of chances for adventure. Boating, swimming and fishing are all popular summer pastimes.
