Klawatti Lake
Klawatti Lake is located in North Cascades National Park, in the U. S. state of Washington.[2] Klawatti Lake is in a remote section of the park and well off any designated trails.[3] Klawatti Lake was formed by the retreat of Klawatti Glacier and North Klawatti Glacier in the mid-1900s.[4] During warmer months, melt from both the North Klawatti Glacier and Klawatti Glacier flows into Klawatti Lake. Klawatti Peak is 1 mi (1.6 km) west of the lake.[2]
