Picture Lake is a small alpine lake located along the Mount Baker Highway in the Mount Baker–Snoqualmie National Forest. The lake sits at approximately 4,200 feet in elevation and is fed primarily by snowmelt and seasonal precipitation. It is surrounded by subalpine forest and meadow ecosystems characteristic of the Mount Baker area.
The lake is widely known for its reflective views of Mount Shuksan, which dominates the skyline to the north. Due to its accessibility and setting, Picture Lake has long been associated with landscape photography and seasonal observation, particularly during autumn and early winter when changing light and snow alter the surrounding terrain.
