Gorgeous water color on Ashley Lake!
At certain times of the day the Ashley Lake glimmers with an emerald colored hue that is quite beautiful and is credited to a unique sediment from the incoming creek. Recreational boating includes water skiing, quiet canoeing and fishing. Ashley Lake has kokanee salmon, cutthroat, yellow perch and rainbow-cutthroat hybrid. You have to see Ashley Lake to truly appreciate its unique beauty.
