Nope -

Pic was taken on the west (w,nw) side of the lake in early June (water was very high due to snow melt).
The west side of this lake is easily accessable from the Pacific Crest Trail.

The east side of the lake has a rough boat launch, and a little island if the water is down some.

I only removed unreleated comments and several bumps posted by me to keep the game going. I however didn't remove any of the photos or clues or related chit chat.
Please come back Marc, it was my fault and I'll be happy to take on the slings and arrows that you've been receiving. Bring em on boys, I'm ready...
Don't worry about it Big D.:)

It seems that any posts that are deleted, the software sees it as being me, even though the rest of the moderators have the same administrative abilities as I. Aaron will get it straightened out in time.

On with the game!:cheers:

In June of both 2009 and 2010 there were 1,014 triploids stocked in this lake. It also holds Brook trout and a small population of Kokanee.

It is located less than 2 miles (as the crow flies) from a major East/West Interstate.

Wow Gringo,
I live on the east side, you've given lots of clues and I still don't have any idea what lake it is but that's a great Norman Rockwell pic right there...

Ding Ding Ding Ding! Lost Lake - Kittitas County, directly south of Kacheelus off I-90. There once was a cool camping spot right there. Especially at high water. But the last time I was there, some idiots decided it would be a good idea to dig a fire pit at the base of that tree(into the roots) and play a game of "will it burn?". Roots all burnt, tons of garbage, made me sick. Haven't been back to that spot in a couple year, don't know how, but I hope that big ol tree survived.

There are so many fishing, camping and hunting spots that I recall that have changed to the point that I don't like going back to anymore. LOL I'll go back eventually and enjoy it all the same, things change.

Anyway, here's a pic that shouldn't be too hard: (It posted smaller than I thought it would)

I should have said this one should be fairly easy for the float tube, fly fishing guys, no ramp available, a walk in lake(the last time I fished it).

"A new access road and parking area was completed in 1993, about a half mile east of the original access road. No marked trail exists yet from the parking area to the lake. You have to hike about a half-mile into the lake."

taken from WA Lakes description of the lake.
