Lenice, Merry, Nunnally
| A chain of three lakes in the lower Crab Creek Wildlife Area. Located near Beverly in the Columbia Basin, these lakes were formed as the ground water level rose when irrigation transformed the area. The Lakes were rehabbed in the spring of 2000. Merry was not stocked at that time. These are selective fishery lakes which open on March 1st and close Oct. 31. Click here for a fishing report. |
Dry Falls
| Formed during the last ice age when an ice dam blocking the Columbia River near the present site of Grand Coulee Dam broke, sending huge volumes of water through what is now Central Washington. The waterfall which scooped out Dry Falls was over 3 miles wide and 400 feet high. An interpretive center overlooking the lake provides a fascinating look at this event. Dry falls is one of the top public trout lakes in Washington and is under selective fishery regulations. The season opens the last Saturday in April and closes Nov. 30. |
