Lake River is a tributary, about 11 miles (18 km) long, of the Columbia River in the U.S. state of Washington.[3] It flows north from Vancouver Lake in Vancouver to meet the larger river near Ridgefield and the northern tip of Bachelor Island.[3] The Wilkes Expedition of 1841 referred to Lake River as Calipaya Inlet.[5]
The river is part of the 32-mile (51 km) Lewis River – Vancouver Lake Water Trail linking Vancouver Lake to Woodland by waters suitable for kayaks and other boats.[6] Portions of the Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge border the river.[3]
