Rimrock Lake, body of water
Rimrock Lake is a large reservoir in Washington with clear waters and a broad surface surrounded by forested hills and rocky slopes. The lake features campgrounds, boat ramps, docks, and fishing spots along its shoreline, serving visitors who come for fishing, boating, swimming, and outdoor relaxation.
The lake was created through dam construction to manage water for regional use and support local agriculture. This infrastructure continues to shape how the reservoir functions for both irrigation and recreation today.
The lake is easily accessible via US-12 with signage directing visitors to parking areas, boat ramps, and picnic spots. Basic facilities including open campgrounds and boat ramps are available during most seasons throughout the year.
Between September and October, water discharge from the dam creates whitewater conditions on the Tieton River below, allowing for challenging rafting trips as the water flows faster. This seasonal window transforms the lower river into an adventure destination that differs greatly from the calm summer lake experience.
