Leech Lake is a peaceful, high-elevation lake covering forty-one acres and prized for its fly-fishing-only regulations. Popular with anglers targeting brook trout, the lake offers a quiet and focused fishing experience during the summer months. A small boat launch provides access to the water, though motorized boats are prohibited to preserve the lake’s tranquil character.

Surrounded by forested slopes and alpine scenery, Leech Lake feels secluded while remaining easily accessible from the White Pass Scenic Byway. The calm setting also makes it an inviting place to picnic, relax, and enjoy the surrounding landscape. Wildlife sightings are common, and the still water often reflects the changing mountain skies. Leech Lake is an ideal destination for visitors seeking solitude, simplicity, and a slower pace in a scenic mountain environment.
