Lake Wallula is a massive impoundment on the Columbia River system that stretches from McNary Dam upstream to Priest Rapids Dam on the Columbia River and upstream to Ice Harbor Dam on the Snake River. Covering approximately 26,274 acres at an elevation of 343 feet, this expansive body of water offers excellent fishing opportunities for multiple species throughout the year. The lake features good shoreline access with numerous well-maintained boat launch facilities, making it accessible for both shore and boat anglers. As a significant portion of the Columbia River system, Lake Wallula serves as an important migration corridor for several anadromous fish species.
