Lake Saint Clair is a lake in the U.S. state of Washington. The lake has a surface area of 244 acres (99 ha) and reaches a depth of 110 feet (34 m).[3] It is a kettle lake with no outlet and is fed from Eaton Creek to the South.[4]
The lake's name is a transfer from Lake St. Clair, in Michigan.[3] The lake has four islands; two of them are named as Dollar and Goat islands.
In June 2025, swimmer's itch was reported at the lake, prompting Thurston County to issue a public advisory to avoid swimming there.[5]
