2023 Map of Swan Lake

About this map

The Okanogan National Forest and Colville National Forest dominate this high-altitude landscape along the border of Okanogan and Ferry Counties. This area is defined by a series of alpine water bodies, most notably Swan Lake, Ferry Lake, and Fish Lake, which serve as focal points for local recreation and conservation. The terrain is marked by significant peaks such as Sheep Mtn and Copper Mtn, providing a glimpse into the topographical character of the northern Cascades. A network of primitive paths and established routes, including the Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trl and the Fish Lake Trl, crisscrosses the mountains. Waterways like Scatter Creek and Golden Harvest Creek drain the slopes, while the historical Old Swan Lake Road and Gaffney path suggest long-standing access routes through these protected timberlands.
