About Spirit Lake
Set in Skamania County, Washington, Spirit Lake is a 2,535-acre natural lake. The water surface sits about 3,409 ft above sea level.
We read the level from USGS gauge 14240306, listed as Spirit Lake West at Spirit Lake, WA. Wind and weather come from the National Weather Service grid cell over the lake, so the numbers describe open water rather than the nearest airport.
It is big enough for a proper sail but small enough that waves rarely get serious. Gusts off the shoreline are usually the bigger story than wave height.
The go or no-go calls above are a starting point, not a guarantee. Read how we score conditions, and always check local rules and posted warnings before you launch.
