Lakes in Washington State

[maximus2003]

Any of you guys ever do any boarding/skiing in Washington State? Just looking to find a few nice lakes to head down to next spring and summer that are not too far of a drive from Vancouver, BC. Ones that have property available on them would be even better.

Is Lake Chelan to far? I am in the process of working a 1700 acre deal, developement and golf course, right on the lake. It is also maybe five years out, but I will have a place there and it's a great summer destination for a boater. I don't know much about other Washington lakes, but I am learning lots about this one. Good luck in the search.

No thats not too bad for us at all. It's only about a 4 - 4 1/2 hour drive for us. That's prefect for a weekend getaway. Our cabin now is like a 7 hour drive, so anything shorter would be great. Any info you have on your development or the area would be great! Thanks. we were actually going to take a drive a little north of there to check out some property near Loomis & Oroville.

All of these lakes are great party/boating places.

My opinions for skiing:

East

Banks Lake - A+

Columbia River:
Lake Roosevelt - A
Crescent Bar - A
Lake Entiat - A
Lincoln Rock - B+

Lake Chelan - C (gets crowded, plus drift wood)
Blue, Park, Alta lakes - B (small)

West

Lake Washington - C (except prior to sunrise - B)
Lake Samamish - B+ (gets crowded)

Last season's time on water: Banks - 60%, Crescent Bar - 20%, Washington - 20%

My cabin is on Mason Lake near Shelton Wa good clean water and prices are not that high. My friend has a place on Banks lake it is a also a great lake but too far for me to go.
