Liberty Lake
From I90, take the Liberty
Lake exit, go south to Sprague, turn left and follow the road around the lake about 4
miles to Liberty Lake Park. There is a small
parking fee. It is a bit of a walk to the water, so I like to suit up at the truck and
walk down.
This is a SHALLOW dive. I mean, we’re talking 8 to 15 feet! But
it’s different from most local dives. There’s lots of plant life, almost like
swimming through kelp forests. We’ve seen tons of fish here, mostly at night, like
bass, perch, crappy, trout and catfish. There’s also turtles and crawfish. And
because it’s shallow, you get lots of bottom time. Use a flag here and watch for
boats!
There is a swimming beach
here, playground toys for the kids, bar-b-cues and a big grassy area. We will definitely
picnic and bar-b-cue here before and after the dive.
