Lake Cortez

Along the Columbia River in Washington

Lake Cortez is a residential lake located in Chelan County, Washington, on the Columbia River's western side. This peaceful lake is 44 acres in size with a maximum depth of 28 feet and an average depth of 18 feet.

Not only does Lake Cortez border the beautiful Columbia River, but it is also nestled at the base of the mountains in the Okanogan Wenatchee National Forest. So, you always have a view of the icy, glacial peaks and lush forests.

Nearby Recreation

Due to the lake's smaller size, residents enjoy paddling, fishing, kayaking, and non-motorized boating.

Off the water, you can find plenty to do in the surrounding Okanogan Wenatchee National Forest. The forest encompasses over 4 million acres along the east slopes of the Cascade Range in Washington. You can enjoy hiking, camping, climbing, fishing, hunting, horseback riding, mountain biking, off-roading, and winter activities such as cross-country skiing, downhill skiing, and snowmobiling.
