Fish Lake
Slightly more than a pond and a bit less than a full-fledged lake, tree- and cattail-lined Fish Lake, Washington is set high in the hills of the Colville National Forest, just a third of a mile drive or an easy hike from the Long Lake campgrounds.
Frequented by fly fishers, who fish its serene, shallow waters for rainbow trout, the lake also attracts several varieties of waterfowl, including loons. Deer and moose are often spotted nibbling grasses at the lake's edge. Black bear have also been seen in the area.
