About Leech Lake
Leech Lake lies within Yakima County in Washington, offering a modest 42-acre water body that blends into the regional landscape. Its very shallow depth creates a unique environment that influences both the water's character and the surrounding ecosystem. This lake's gentle scale provides a quiet retreat from larger, more crowded bodies of water. The lake's proximity to Ahtanum State Forest places it within a natural context that enhances its appeal for outdoor enthusiasts.
