Bumping Lake is a fishing lake in Washington's Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, within the Naches Ranger District. It is managed by the Forest Service and sits on Forest Service land, so the closest town is the one that serves the surrounding district. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. At a nearby weather station, typical July and August highs average about 75 to 76°F, with lows around 46°F and the fewest wet days of the year. That station sits roughly 660 feet lower than the lake, so temperatures at the lake run cooler. The Bumping Lake Campground is just 0.3 miles away, and the Bumping Lake Campground (Upper) is 0.8 miles off. Within a few miles are the Kettle Creek Trail and the Fish Lake Way Trail.
