Murphy Lakes (Washington)

Murphy Lakes are a group of small lakes located in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest in Okanogan County, Washington state. They are situated at a relatively high elevation within a mountainous region, characterized by coniferous forests and rugged terrain. Access to the lakes typically requires hiking or potentially off-road driving depending on the specific lake and trail conditions. The lakes are popular for recreational activities such as fishing (certain species may be present, depending on the lake and season), hiking, and camping, though facilities are generally limited or non-existent. The surrounding area offers opportunities for wildlife viewing, although specific species present are not comprehensively documented in readily accessible public sources. Further information regarding specific trailheads, fishing regulations, and camping permits may be available through the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest Service.
