Keechelus Lake, Reservoir in Kittitas County, United States.
Keechelus Lake spans 2,560 water-surface acres at an elevation of 768 meters along Interstate 90, northwest of Easton in Washington State.
The Keechelus Dam, completed in 1917, transformed this natural lake into a reservoir with a storage capacity of 157,900 acre-feet for the Yakima Project.
The name originates from Native American language meaning 'few fish', contrasting with nearby Kachess Lake which translates to 'more fish'.
Multiple fishing species inhabit the waters, including salmon, rainbow trout, and cutthroat trout, with specific catch limits enforced throughout the year.
The Milwaukee Road railroad operated along the western shore until 1980, when its path transformed into the current Iron Horse State Park.
