Omak Lake
Located on the Colville Indian Reservation.
Omak lake is Okanogan's premier spot for water skiing, fishing, sun bathing
and swimming around Okanogan. The lake is about 10 miles long. The largest
saline lake in Washington, is located southeast of Omak. It lies mostly
within a steep-walled valley and is the principal body of water in the
Omak Lake watershed. Omak Lake has no outlet and is fed by drainage from
the surrounding hills and plateaus and from several inlet streams. With
miles of sandy beach and hidden gems isolated from the general population
there's plenty of room to play here. You most obtain a fishing permit from
the Colville Indian tribe to fish here. Located 7 miles southeast of Omak;
Omak Lake covers 3,244 acres and holds the record for a 18.04 pound Lahontan
Cutthroat Trout caught in 1993. Public beach and boat access are located
at the north end of the lake.
Crawfish
Lake
The lake is located 15 miles northeast
of Omak. The north half of the lake is on USFS land, the south half is
on the Colville Indian Reservation. If you plan to fish both ends of the
lake, you would need to have a fishing permit from the Colville Indian
Tribe and also a Washington permit! Most of the property along the shoreline
of the lake is privately owned, with a US Forest Service campground occupying
the northeast side of the lake. Boat Motors have been prohibited on the
lake since 1996. Crawfish lake offers public fishing, rowing, canoeing,
kayaking camping and swimming. Some consider the Crawfish in this lake
to be a fine delicacy!
