Where Is The Water Source Inlet For Fiorito Ponds Near Ellensburg

Post by Marc Martyn » Tue May 29, 2007 11:54 pm

Recently I fished Fiorito Ponds near Ellensburg. Great set of lakes. I did not see an inlet for the ponds. I found an outlet on Google Earth, but can't see the inlet source. Does anyone know where it comes into the North Pond? Here is the link for the ponds on Google Earth

:-s Unless it comes in under the road, I can't see any other place. It must have a steady flow of water coming in and going out because the algae and weeds are low and the water is very clear.

Hey Marc,

If you look to the very North of this Topo Map of Fiorito, it appears their is a small creek that runs along the very North of the North Lake. I zoomed in really far on this little creek, and it drops south, appearing to go right into the lake. It must go underground though, because I have never seen a creek emptying into fiorito, but I believe this is where Fiorito is fed from. I tried google earth as well and couldn't see anything. Here's the topo map:

Good research. I am leaning towards the idea that it is either pumped in or underground. There is a building on the north end of the lake. Possibly a pump house
