Lake Sutherland is located on the Olympic Peninsula about 17 miles (27 km) west of Port Angeles, Washington.

Lake Sutherland drains into Indian Creek, which is a tributary of the Elwha River.

[1][2] Lake Sutherland and Indian Creek once sustained anadromous fish populations, but construction of the Elwha Dam in 1913 blocked access to the ocean, eliminating several salmon species from Indian Creek and landlocking others.

Lake Sutherland lies just outside Olympic National Park and is private land.

There is also a reservoir in San Diego County, Situated between Ramona and Julian, with the same name.
