Battle Ground Lake State Park is a 280-acre (110 ha) Washington state park located 21 miles (34 km) northeast of Vancouver, Washington, U.S., consisting of an ancient Lua error in Module:Convert at line 1851: attempt to index local 'en_value' (a nil value). volcano in the Boring Lava Field where a magma-induced steam explosion made a large bean-shaped crater, a maar, which later filled with water, forming a crater lake.[3] The lake was originally named Crater Lake, but was renamed in deference Oregon's more famous Crater Lake.
History
The property was formerly owned by the Dollars, a local family for which Dollars Corner, a nearby intersection, was named.[4] There was a lodge and store on the shore, along with a large dock area from which boats could be rented.
Activities and amenities
The park is vegetated with mostly evergreen forest, and the lake is stocked with bass, catfish and trout.[5] Facilities include a swimming area, boat launch ramp, camping grounds and cabin rentals. Bridle trails ring the lake and criss-cross the summit area.[6] There are a few small bass present, and catfish, but trout fishing is the main attraction for anglers, especially on opening day.
