About this map

Trout Lake Valley serves as the focal point of this mountainous landscape where Skamania, Yakima, and Klickitat counties meet. The settlement of Trout Lake is situated at the southern edge of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, supported by a network of forest development roads and local routes like Wa-141. The geography is defined by high peaks and ridges including Haystack Butte, Cakey Butte, and McDonald Ridge, with the White Salmon River and Trout Lake Creek providing the primary drainage for the surrounding basins.

Local landmarks such as the Wicky Creek Shelter and the Trout Lake Big-Tree indicate a landscape heavily used for recreation and forestry. The presence of the Trout Lake Airport and various springs like Bear Spring point to the logistical and natural resources vital to this corner of Washington. Tracing the numerous named creeks, such as Gotchen Creek and Ninefoot Creek, reveals a complex hydrologic system that feeds the larger river valleys to the south.
