About
Lake Lenore, also known as Lenore Lake, is located in Grant County, Washington, United States. It is a 1,670 acres (680 ha) lake formed by the Missoula Floods in the lower Coulee just north of the town of Soap Lake, Washington. It is situated between Alkali Lake to the north and Soap Lake to the south. The lake is rather narrow, but long. The length of the lake runs north–south alongside State Route 17 leading from near the city of Soap Lake to Coulee City. The lake also consists of more than 7 islands.
Lenore Canyon is a coulee associated with the development of the Scablands.
One of the interesting areas around Lake Lenore is the Lenore Caves. Located at the northern end of the lake, the Lenore Caves are a series of overhangs along the cliffs at the lake. They exist in one of the largest volcanic regions on Earth.
