Travel Guide

Diablo Lake is a reservoir in the North Cascade mountains of northern Washington state, United States. Created by Diablo Dam, the lake is located between Ross Lake and Gorge Lake on the Skagit River at an elevation of 1,201 feet (366 m) above sea level.
The unique, intense turquoise hue of the lake's water is attributed to the surrounding glaciers that grind rocks into a fine powder that is carried into the lake through creeks. That fine powder stays suspended in the lake, giving the water its brilliant color. #nationalpark #roadtrip

The lake is that blue-green color nearly all year long, fed by glaciers melting down the North Cascades. I drove by this spot for four days straight and never really got used to it.
Grab a grassy seat at the top of the hill at Gas Works Park for one of the best views of Seattle. Perfect for July 4th fireworks viewing, sailboat spotting, or picnicking and cloud gazing.

The staff were courteous and helpful. It’s an old property which I was expecting but our room is in need of updating. The beds were very uncomfortable (old spring mattresses) and the refrigerator made a loud buzzing sound every few hours. The pool was fun but could also use a renovation.
