Domke Lake Access

Domke Lake Access is a remote trailhead located approximately 0. 25 miles from Lucerne Landing on Lake Chelan, requiring a 3. 5-mile hike to reach Domke Lake in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest.

Access is by ferry (Lady of the Lake) or personal boat to Lucerne, where a Federal Dock Site Boat Permit is required May 1–October 31 ($5 day permit or $40 seasonal pass).

The trail is moderate difficulty with good shoreline access for bank anglers and paddlers, though overnight camping at Domke Lake is currently closed due to 2015 fire damage.
