DescriptionGray Wolf Lake (also spelled Grey Wolf) is named for the plentiful wolves and wolverines that roamed the area in the early days. The name may also be a translation of an unknown Salish word. A 1923 sketch map by Theodore Shoemaker labels it Dumbbell Lake. Nestled high in the Mission Mountains, the lake is the source of the Swan River. Elevation: 6,654 ft.
