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.
The Cowlitz River Arm is significantly colder than the rest of the lake due to its proximity to the Riffe Lake which is created by Mossyrock Dam. The water from Riffe Lake flows through the Mossyrock Powerhouse's two hydroelectric generators.
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.
