Washington State has some of the prettiest lakes in the world. From huge Lake Washington in Seattle to the hundreds of tiny lakes and even a handful of man-made tournament waterski lakes, Washington has them all.
Most of the larger lakes allow such things as water skiing and jetskis. Most smaller lakes have some restrictions on motor size or speed. All lakes offer some level of fishing. Fisherman and skiers generally get along on these mixed use lakes by allowing fisherman their space in the early morning and evening, with the skiers taking the warmer mid-day times.
