« on: February 03, 2015, 12:59:40 PM »
So I've been in a discussion with a couple people and and I'm wanting your guys/gals oppion of your favorite lake in Eastern WA (that actually has trees in the area, ie... not sagebrush country).

Fishing? Camping/RV's? Cabins? etc...

thanks

Tagging along for this one.  Always looking for a good camp spot.

Steamboat state park on banks lake is pretty nice and has a few trees and great fishing.

Lake Roosevelt- Hunters campground.  Just camping and RV's.  Clean, rarely full, good boat launch and fishing. All camp spots are under big pines with several virtually on the beachfront.

We used to camp at 25 mile creek campground or up lake by boat on Lake Chelan.  We had people who fished, kids, boats, jetskiis, 10 days of friends and fun every July.

I'm a bass guy so it's been Banks and Potholes for me and family.  State parks for camping at both.  Getting a spot is the trick
May that for which I prepare never come to pass.

I wouldn't consider this the best but Bumping Lake is a great place. It is never crowded (that we've been there anyways), nice campgrounds, lots of trees and hiking opportunities. Also wheeling nearby if you're into that too.

My first choice always is any Priest Lake Idaho campground.

Conconully is good, very ATV friendly. State park, very ANTI-ATV We used to stay at the Comstock Motel, all rooms have kitchenettes.

I couldn't care less about what anybody says..............

I'm a big conconully fan.  Closer to home, I spend a lot of time at fish lake. Alta lake is also great, it is still standing, beautiful and full of trout, go support the local economy.

The Pend Oreille Lake chain.  Several lakes with forest service campgrounds.  ORV trails and the Beaver Lodge Resort with new owners.  Great area for many activities.  The lakes are all stocked with trout and I believe some even have bass and crappie in them.

Leader lake



Is Leader still full of rock bass? We use to catch those by the 5 gallon bucket full. I think the state tryed killing them off so it is more of a trout lake? They were fun on ultralite tackle!

My question for the OP is what are you looking for as far as facilities?  If you are wanting full hook ups 50amp service I have no Idea HOWEVER if you are looking for solitude away from the hustle and bustle I can name quite a few as long as you're willing to ride a horse in to the lakes and spend some time in a tent,  Fred's Lake, Ferguson Lake, Doris Lake,  Althpough my favorite is either Eureka Lake or Lake of the Woods, First 3 have great fishing 16 - 18 inch trout and all off the beaten path yet easily accessible via horseback and pack mules..... Other two not so great for fishing but can go back there and not see another person for the entire summer

I really like to see what ever place you think is worth while spending time on your vacation! I like all of the above ways to camp and fish so all of those areas sound great!

Sullivan lake 3 miles long 1 mile wide. Camp grounds on both ends. Good kokanee fishing along with burbot and trout. State record brown trout was caught out of it back in the 60s I believe. We have a cabin on the NE side of the lake so I'm partial to this lake.....lol oh and its surrounded by trees and mountains.
