For example, their calculated water depth at the Pasco Basin–Wallula Gap transition zone is about 190 m, significantly less than the 280–300 m flood depth indicated by high-water marks. They concluded that a flood of ~10 6 m 3 /s could not have made the observed high-water marks.
Average depth: 87 ft (27 m) Max. depth: 180 ft (55 m) Water volume: 67,300 acre⋅ft (83,000,000 m 3) [3] Surface elevation: 2,503 ft (763 m) Islands: Kim Island is the only permanent island, sutuated toward the west end of the lake. There are a few very shallow areas that break the surface depending on water levels.
Loon Lake is a 1,100-acre (450 ha) lake located in Stevens County, Washington, 30 miles (48 km) north-northwest of Spokane, Washington at an elevation of 726 metres (2,382 ft). The lake is about two miles wide, one mile long, and has a maximum depth of 100 feet (30 m). [1] [2] Loon Lake was named for the wild loons near the water. [3]

Approximately 87 percent of dams in Washington are earth fill dams, with the second most-common type being concrete gravity dams (6%). Only 113 dams in the state are taller than 50 feet (15 m). King County has 123 dams—the most of any county in the state. [1] The majority of dams were built between 1960 and 1999. [1]
The lake is approximately 7 miles (11 km) long and 1-mile (1.6 km) wide, having a wildly varying depth with steep dropoffs plunging over 300 feet down. [6] About half a mile from the boat launch, the lake's characteristic geography can be seen: high basalt cliff walls on either side with rock pillars and spires protruding from the bottom.
Snow totals can pile up when these snow bands train, or remain more stationary, over a particular area. It can also reduce visibility and make for impossible driving conditions. That was the case ...
Long Lake is now open, year-round, to watercraft with a 45 mph speed limit in open basins EXCEPT at night and in the morning, when the speed limit is 5 mph. (The 5 mph limit applies after 8 p.m. or official sunset, whichever comes first, to 11 a.m.) After sunset, all crafts must use proper running lights.
