Shelley Lake is located in the Veradale area of the city of Spokane Valley approximately one-half mile south of Sprague Avenue, the main east–west surface street in the Valley.

The lake is located on the relatively flat floor of the Spokane Valley, just below hills which rise to the south into the uplands which comprise most of the lake's drainage basin.

[1] The eastern shore is dominated by a hillside that is a separate private property.

[6] Shelley Lake has no natural surface outlet, with water instead leaving the lake through evaporation or as groundwater recharge into the Spokane Valley-Rathdrum Prairie Aquifer.
