Carl's Lake
General Information
Formally known as Brown's Lake, Carl's Lake is 3,150 feet in elevation. With closed roads, access is difficult. The boat launch area is located on the southeast corner of the lake and is a muddy opening. According to Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, rainbow trout fry and catchable plants produce yearlings 9-11 inches and carryovers up to 14+ inches. Two-pole fishing is allowed, and shoreline access is spotty. Fishing methods include: Fly, spin, and bait.
Wheeled, motorized cross-country travel is closed to protect natural resources. There are two gates off FSR 9400500 to help mitigate motorized access, making getting into the lake walk-in only.
