Green Lake is located in North Cascades National Park, in the U. S. state of Washington.[2] Situated 1.5 mi (2.4 km) northeast of Bacon Peak, Green Lake receives some runoff from Green Lake Glacier which empties into the lake after plunging 375 ft (114 m) over Bacon Lake Falls. Another series of waterfalls lie below Green Lake and are known as Green Lake Falls which drop another 979 ft (298 m).[2]
