Daylight sighting by boaters where Holden Creek flows into Lake Chelan
Account
While riding a tour boat that was dropping off firefighters, the witness saw a large dark figure walking on the shore near a creek mouth. The witness's wife also saw the figure and described it as orangutan-like but more upright. The witness photographed it as it walked back into the woods and later saw the figure when zooming in on the images.
