Hey does anyone know how to get to Lake Retreat in King county? I hear its darn good fishin, but I haven't a clue as to how to get there!

I know I pass it on my way to Kanaskat Palmer S.P. via Hwy 18. It is on Lake Retreat - Kanaskat Rd. right after you turn off of Kent-Kangley Rd.

If you are coming from Enumscratch go north on Hwy 169 and go right when get to Kent Kangley Rd. then follow the signs to Kanaskat Palmer S.P. and you will see it on your left.

Hope this helps.

I believe Lake Retreat is a private lake. I have heard it has giant largemouth. I stayed at the camp once when I was a kid, but all we caught were big perch.

Lake Retreat is private; there's no public launch or access. My daughter lived on the lake for two years. When the water warmed, some really impressive largemouths moved into the shallows in front of her home. There's lots of docks, submerged logs, and weedbeds to fish. The water is very clear. Lakefront property owners took up a collection to stock the lake with trout, a couple of years ago. Maybe some of those fish have carried over. Probably have to marry into one of those lakefront families to gain access to the water Might be cheaper to go to a trout farm!

Hey thanks a bunch guys! I'll talk to the local game warden (who goes to our church and knows EVERYONE in King Country it seems) and see if he can hook me up. Hes a good guy, even if hes a gamewarden
