Bill Kail sent in the following photos and request for help. If you can help identify the location please leave a comment.
The attached photos were taken 30 years ago on one of several family trips from Fort Lewis to visit Cascades locations. The images are scanned from family slides. Sadly the captions are lost.
We all thought for years these were pictures of Lake Chelan, however we are told by the Washington State Parks folks and Chelan rangers that we are wrong. They strongly suggest photos are of Lake Wenatchee.
I cannot find any similar pictures on the web (google images, etc).
I would greatly appreciate any help you can give us to confirm Lake Wenatchee and any details as to what the images show (mountains, lake shore trail, nearby river and waterfalls)
Thank you for your consideration.

the “bath tub” ring tells me this isn’t Lake Wenatchee, one thought is it might be Bumping Lake?
a friend with a place at Bumping emailed to say, not Bumping, maybe Rimrock with the Goat Rocks in the background?
Looks Like the man made lake on Snoqualmie pass. or the columbia river along oregon… by bonneville dam.
Oh none of those pics are Lake Wenatchee. the top one looks like it but its not.
I belive the top pic. to be the South East end of Lake Kachess by the dam.
The second pic. is of the stumps at the North East end of Little Katchese up past the State park. This lake is man made and the stumps are from the trees that were cut down when the lake was constructed.
The third pic. is of the Falls at the North East end of Little Kachess.
The forth pic. is along the South East side of the main part of Lake Kachess at low water. This and three other interconnected lakes are drawn down for Eastern Washington Irrigation as the summer progresses and water needs are higher.
I totally agree with Jim. This is Lake Kachess
