Ancient Lake Natural Area is just east of the Columbia River in eastern Washington state. It provides good evidence, with sagebrush and rattlesnakes, that the state's moniker of the "Evergreen State" does not apply to vast stretches of Washington. Ancient Lake is much more reminiscent of the old west than the soggy, Pacific Northwest that most people envision.

Trees Around Ancient Lake, Washington State

Ancient Lake is a pothole lake that was formed from the swirling waters and whirlpools of the great Lake Missoula Floods, over 10,000 years ago. Tremendous and violent whirlpools drilled holes in the bedrock which were left to become small lakelets that serve as habitat for numerous species of waterfowl and small mammals.
