Lake Geneva is mostly surrounded by homes and forest. Lake Geneva Park is located on the northeast shore, and is home to grassy sports fields, forest trails, and a fishing dock.[1] In addition to the fishing dock at the park, there is a Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife boat ramp on the northwest shore. Fish species in the lake include bluegill, largemouth bass, and rainbow trout (stocked).[2]
The lake is managed by a special district. Its priorities include maintaining the health of the lake through noxious weed, algae, and water quality management, waterfowl control, and maintaining the watershed and lake outlet.[3][4]
