Rattlesnake Lake is a 111-acre lake. This freshwater lake supplies Seattle and some surrounding areas with freshwater.

The water levels in the lake are low and almost entirely flat. When the water is low enough, numerous tree stumps are visible above the waterline.

The lake is 40 minutes from Seattle, near Interstate 90 and Exit 32. It's 3 miles southeast of the town of North Bend.
