| State Park Overview: |
 | Anderson Lake State Park is a remote marine day-use park of cedar, fir and alder forest mixed with freshwater marshes. Surrounded by 410 wooded and wetland acres, the park slopes down to the 70-acre Anderson Lake and abounds with birds and wildlife.
A $5 vehicle parking permit ($50 annual) is required in all Washington state parks for daytime visits. The permit covers use of watercraft launches and may be used at multiple parks and launches on the date of issue. Daily and annual parking permits are available for purchase in-person at State Parks headquarters at 7150 Cleanwater Lane, Olympia, at the four region offices and at parks when staff is available. Annual permits also are available online.
The money collected from the parking fee is used to make improvements in parks. |

| History of the Area: |
| Prior to becoming a state park, Anderson Lake was owned by William F. Anderson, who used the land around it to graze his cattle. Curiously, the lake was not named for him or anyone in his family. William Anderson purchased the property in 1947 from Amanda Anderson, who, though not a relative, shared his last name. Anderson Lake was named for one of her ancestors. |
