Kachess Lake - Wenatchee National Forest

Situated just north of I-90, about five miles west of Cle Elum Lake. With a year-round open season, Kachess should be good for 8- to 12-inch kokanee by early June. [4feet]: Because Rampart Lake backpacking is considered an easier backpacking for us, we planned to go fishing in Kachess Lakes afterwards. When we arrived the lake at 1:30 in the afternoon, we changed our plan. Instead of fishing which we have zero experience with, we made our mind of swimming. Kachess Lakes is a huge and clean lake reflecting the beautiful color of ocean blue. A fair amount of families went kayaking and paddling boarding. The water surface was bit wavy due to constant wind. 8/30/20.
