Mysterious lake in eastern Washington with sudden level changes
A reader reports strange facts about a lake in eastern Washington near Sahlotwa. The lake rises and falls abruptly, sometimes narrowing to 160 yards, with a 12 foot dike built after a near submersion. A railway embankment across the lake was swallowed, and a winter tunnel drainage idea failed as water vanished into a crevice. A geyser like well near Kathlotne shoots water in intervals, signaling ongoing mystery.
