  • Lucerne, currently 2 campgrounds, 3 boat docks and home to the Chelan Boat Club cabins.
  • Twelve miles up the hill from Lucerne was the mining town called Holden. I met my wife and we were Married in Couer de Lane Idaho. We had two daughters that was born in the Aid Station in Holden. The copper prices dropped and the mine was forced to shut down in 1957. If anyone has any questions concerning Holden activities please e-mail us at bobngayle@centurylink.net
