Lenice Lake - Washington DNR

Lenice Lake is located in Eastern Washington in a rural, scrubland area. It's primarily set up as a fishing access point rather than a typical recreational lake. The area is characterized by rocky terrain and open landscapes typical of Eastern Washington's arid environment. The lake is managed by Washington DNR (Department of Natural Resources) and requires a Discover Pass for access.

Lenice Lake is specifically managed for fly fishing, with no other fishing methods permitted. Anglers need a valid Washington state fishing license. The lake is popular among fly fishermen who come specifically to access the waters. For the most current regulations regarding catch limits, seasonal restrictions, and any special rules, check with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife before your trip, as fishing regulations can change.

While Lenice Lake is managed by Washington DNR and has multiple access points where camping might seem permissible with a Discover Pass, official overnight camping is not supported or encouraged. Rangers have been known to clear visitors in the evening. The area is primarily designed as a day-use fishing access point rather than a campground. The parking areas and surrounding land are rocky with reports of trash and broken glass, making it unsuitable for comfortable camping.
