Lake Mayfield

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lake Mayfield is a reservoir lake located near Mossyrock, Washington, in Lewis County. It was created by Mayfield Dam on the Cowlitz River. The lake sports an island with a lighthouse, sometimes covered in graffiti, sometimes painted with stripes. The shallow, washed out area on the tilden river arm of the lake is referred to locally as 'Wally World' (origin unknown) The Cowlitz River Arm is significantly colder than the rest of the lake due to its proximity to the Rife Lake dam. Throughout the 1980s and 90s there were many water ski and wake board tournaments held on the lake's Winston Creek arm where the Lake Mayfield Resort was located.
