Palmer Lake is a lake in Okanogan County, in the U.S. state of Washington.[1]
Fish that can be found in this lake are the black crappie, burbot, Largemouth bass, Smallmouth bass, Sockeye salmon, and the Yellow perch.[2]
Known as Haipwil to the Indigenous people, Palmer Lake is named for James Palmer, who had a cattle ranch at the north end of the lake around 1875.[3][4]
