Twin Lakes at Jim Creek has reopened for fishing and boating. In anticipation of the reopening, the lakes were stocked with 2,000 rainbow trout, 8 to 14 inches in length.

Boat rentals are available weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. from the recreation office in building 4. Weekend rentals are available 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the boathouse, located at Twin Lakes.

Washington State fishing licenses and Jim Creek fishing permits are required for all anglers 15 years of age and older and are available for purchase at both the recreation office and the boathouse. Youth under the age of 15 are only required to have a Jim Creek fishing permit.

Cost for a one-day Washington State fishing license is $8. The Jim Creek fishing permit is $2 per person per day and is used to help offset the cost of stocking the lakes. Adult seasonal Jim Creek permits are also available for $15. Kids seasonal Jim Creek permits are $5.
