[3] Both Interstate 90 and SR 904 run through Four Lakes and the junction of the two is located near the center of town.

[5] The community was so named on account of there being four lakes near the original town site.

[6] It is speculated the fourth lake, is now a marsh south of Meadow Lake, which was drained by the ditch, blasted through basalt, which Minnie Creek flows through, under SR 904, south of the rodeo grounds.

[7] Largely because Four Lakes is a bedroom community for its neighbors such as Cheney and Spokane, there are very few businesses as of 2022[update].

The small community has its own post office,[9] water district, and volunteer fire department.
