Most People Don’t Know About The Strange Disappearing Lake Hiding In Washington
Washington is full of mystery and wonder, which is one of the many things we love about it. We’ve mentioned the Evergreen State’s underwater ghost towns, but did you know we also have a lake that ghosts us every year, only to return the following spring? It’s true, and our disappearing lake is unlike anything you’ll find in the Pacific Northwest.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date. If you know of a local business that could use some extra support during these times, please nominate them here: onlyinyourstate.com/nominate
The temporary lake in question is located deep in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest in Lewis County.
Some people report feeling like they've been transported to Louisiana when they're boating across this beauty. Paddling right by those huge cotton trees is also a unique experience.
Washingtonians have been sticking close to home this spring, so there’s no telling how far the disappearing lake is in its current cycle. Also, it can be tough to find without having exact driving directions. Luckily, Zach Urness made a fantastic video and put it on YouTube for us all to experience. Enjoy a virtual lake tour here:
