WDFW - Phillips Lake Traditional Cache

Welcome to Phillips Lake! Please abide by the hours of operation. Congratulations Zonnah for the FTF! This picturesque lake is one of our favorites when we go out fishing. We’ll be sitting on the shore enjoying the sounds of peace the lake has to offer, lines in the water, not much of a care in the world, until the shock and excitement hits as a fish yanks on the line. Check the fishing regulations and cast your line out, or bring your camera and snap some great pics.

This cache has been placed as part of a pilot program with WDFW. You will need a Discover Pass or a WDFW Parking Pass to park here.
