Keechelus Lake is a mountain kitesurfing spot in the Cascades of Washington State, at 757m elevation, near Snoqualmie Pass on Interstate 90. This alpine reservoir offers a body of water surrounded by dense conifer forests and mountain peaks. Valley winds channeled along the lake provide rideable conditions. Water is very cold due to altitude and snowmelt feeding. About 1 hour from Seattle.
Open all year round
Intermediate
Mountain lake with very cold fresh water (4-15°C/39-59°F). A 5/3mm wetsuit recommended even in summer. Flat water to light chop. No current. Rocky to sandy bottom. Lake level varies significantly (reservoir). Very clear water. The lake can be partially frozen in winter.
Very cold water year-round — hypothermia even in summer. Mountain thunderstorms with lightning — exit immediately. Highly variable lake level — stumps and rocks exposed at low levels. Snow possible in spring and fall at this elevation. Gusty and changeable mountain winds. I-90 nearby but limited services at the pass.
