Description

Lake Dolloff is stocked annually with rainbow trout by the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife. In addition to the stocked rainbow trout, black crappie, bluegill, brown bullhead, coastal cutthroat trout, largemouth bass, rock bass, smallmouth bass, and yellow perch are naturally present in the lake. There is a public parking lot and lake access area on the southeast end of the lake.[1] [2]

Lake Dolloff has a 518acres watershed. Nutrient concentrations are consistently high, leading to its classification as a eutrophic lake.[3]

Lake Dolloff Substation

The King County Sheriff's Office maintains Lake Dolloff substation, which services Lake Dolloff and other nearby areas of unincorporated King County. The station was refurbished in 2012.[4] [5]
