Granite Lake, Northern Cascade Range, Yakima County, Washington     User input for Granite Lake, Northern Cascade Range, Yakima County, Washington: Bonnie Kugel: Granite Lake has crystal clear water, is surrounded by a very primtive campground.  I don't recall how many campsites there are, but I have never been there when there was more than one other party.  The surrounding area is incredibly beautiful, well worth the extremely rough road in.  4 wheel drive only.  There is an abandoned copper mine in the area, and if you can find the trailhead, (good luck), the scenery is breathtaking.  I've been to the mine 3 times.  Watch out for bears!  There is a ghost town below the copper mine.  Very little is left.  There are picnic tables, no water and no bathrooms. Come prepared. Submit Input: Your Name: Write or Paste Input here: Upload picture:      Review Guidelines        The beauty of Granite Lake attracts many people from all around.
