Lake Cushman is a 4,010 acre (16 kmĀ²) lake on the north fork of the Skokomish River in Mason County, Washington. The lake is maintained by Cushman Dam No. 1 providing electrical power to the Tacoma Power system. Though slightly colder than out-of-state lakes, Lake Cushman's temperature is relatively normal for Washington lakes. It is fed by the Skokomish River which is a glacial runoff river. The lake is notable for its beautiful crystal clear blue water and the huge round rocks surrounding it.

There is also a town near Lake Cushman known as Lake Cushman, Washington, or simply Cushman, Washington.
