Rifffe Lake
*** Watch YouTube Videos of overlanding photography adventures on my OverLandScapes YouTube Chanel.
This is another lake that I came across while on a 4 month overlanding trip into the wild wilderness stretches of the northwestern United States. Riffe Lake, originally known as Mossyrock Lake, was created in 1968 by the completion of a dam. It stretches over 13 miles along US-12 in the state of Washington.
Although I had my fishing gear with me, I paused only long enough to take a picture and meet some people. I wish I had been able to do some fishing, though... the lake is known for its landlocked coho and Chinook salmon, as well as an occasional large brown trout. Rainbow and cutthroat trout are also found in the lake, as are brown bullheads, bluegill, and crappie. There are no Kokanee in the lake, however. .
This view of the lake was shot from Highway 12 on the northern shore.
