Fish species include rainbow trout and largemouth bass. Public access is provided by the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife.

This is an alpine lake with a history. Around 1900 optimistic miners built a town here in hopes of silver, or at least lead. Ruins are still easily found on the cliffs, with waste heaps and ore-car rails visible. To get to goat lake drive the mountain loop highway east of Darlington or east from granite falls to the Verlot public service center. From the center go 20 miles to Barlow pass and continue another 5 miles to toward Darlington. About .2 miles beyond the Elliot creek bridge go right 1 mile on road number 4080 and proceed to the trailhead. The hike was 5 miles with frequent elevation changes, not something to take the kids on. The lake's about 25 acres and is glacier-fed. I lugged along a raft and the first evening was rewarded with 2 brook trout about 6 inches. These were caught on a pink 1/16 ounce rooster tail trolled slow. The following day I continued to catch brook trout nothing bigger than 7 inches. My hopes of catching a golden trout soon diminished. The following morning I left with a smile, after a large breakfast of the previous day's catch. Good luck to anyone who fishes it. John Shifton

Green Lake (255 acres): In the heart of Seattle near the intersection of Highway 99 and 60th North, Green Lake offers rainbow and brown trout, largemouth bass, yellow perch and brown bullhead catfish. Channel catfish are stocked in some years for diversity. Common carp and goldfish can be abundant. Boats can be rented at the northeast corner or car-toppers can be carried to the lake. Several fishing piers are placed around the lake. Green Lake is open to fishing year-around, and is typically stocked several times between mid-March and mid-June with a seasonal total of approximately 13,000 catchable-size rainbow trout. Milfoil is a nuisance, and can interfere with fishing from April through October.
