Curlew Lake. Mornings open with mirror-calm water, forested hillsides, and an easy, get-outside rhythm. On summer days you’ll see paddlers gliding past docks, anglers launching at Curlew Lake State Park, and families gathering at the swim beach. The lake is a year-round fishery; the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife manages rainbow trout and celebrated tiger muskies, and winter often brings dependable ice-fishing. Campsites, nearby boat rentals, and golden-hour cruises make weeknights feel like vacation, while autumn colors and stargazing reward the quieter months.
