Soap Lake
- Thread starter RCF
- Start date
35 years ago I used to always stay at the tolo vista. Right on the main drag, tubs with soap lake water for a mineral bath in kind of funky cabins. No idea about restaurants any more or where to find the soap lake honeys. You might want to ask Billy about them
Somehow, Chris, I think you're joshin' us and looking for some humor from the SLB'rs. If not - apologies -
Sleep: https://soaplakeresort.com/ You might get a mud bath through them
Eat/drink: https://www.facebook.com/DelRedPub/ Used to have some darn good deep fried oysters, burgers were good
Fishing:
If you stay at Soap Lake, you have to fish Lenore ----^
Then, of course, you can hit the "warm water ditch" uka Rocky Ford

Used to also stay at the Tolo Vista. Don and Jerry, the owners were pretty funny.
Used to grab a steak dinner at a place in Soap Lake. Can’t remember the name of it or head into Ephrata for pizza and beer.
Fun times back then. Caught my first ever fly caught fish out of Lake Lenore.

Legend
Soap Lake has inexpensive motels/hotels, all places to eat are rated 4 to 5 stars, and a lake with medicinal properties. Small population, so no worries about having room to fish with anyone near by. Plus the Burlington Northern train goes right through the town. The wind wafting the sweet scent of sage. What is not to like and could be even more relaxing?

I can't help ya on places to stay the nite.
There is a steak house a block west of the main drag that was pretty darn good, I can't remember the name, but that is what google is for.
Fish, I have had some of the best fishing in Rocky Ford in winter.
Bring yer boat for fishing in the lakes north of Soap Lake.
The last time I went to Soap Lake to enjoy a good soak in the lake the other beach goers were all middle nice folks.
Humble, nice folks live in the high desert.
