This lake is an interesting looking lake with an island in the middle of it with some nearby ponds. It is in the open as compared to many of the other larger lakes in the area, and even though it’s a shallow lake it stays full of water all summer. This lake is surround by private property; no public access allowed. One could do some bird watching along the public road but of course not on the land off the road. Directions: Take the WA-902 W exit- EXIT 272- toward MEDICAL LAKE., Turn RIGHT onto WA-902 / W MEDICAL LAKE RD. Continue to follow WA-902., Turn LEFT onto N PRENTIS ST., Turn LEFT onto E CAMPBELL ST., Turn LEFT onto S HALLETT ST., S HALLETT ST becomes S MEDICAL LAKE RD. From S.

Private property. No tresspassing
ReplyDeleteSense the private property-no trespassing commentor did not follow up I did my own research and in fact the land around this lake is private property, with no public access agreements with any agencies. So, one can only do the activity of bird watching from the public road. Good news is there are far better places to go bird watching in Spokane County. Plus, the water in this lake gets pretty gross in late summer.
ReplyDeleteGood news here is a website one can use to determine if a site is privately or publicly owned. Here is the link http://cp.spokanecounty.org/scout/map/
