Cow Lake is located approximately nine miles east of Ritzville off the Wellsandt Road. This lake was rehabilitated in 2007 to eradicate nuisance fish and restore a mixed species fishery. Fishing for Largemouth Bass and Bluegill Sunfish is fair to good. WDFW also stocks the lake with catchable size Rainbow Trout. Grass Pickerel and Brown Bullhead catfish are also very abundant and provide a different kind of fishing opportunity.
Two-pole fishing is allowed
Shoreline access: Good - Most of the shoreline is fishable.
