Lennox Mountain is an 5,898-foot (1,798 m) mountain summit located in King County of Washington state. Lennox mountain extends a ridge South towards Canoe peak making a bowl structure where Lake Kanim sits, the origin source of the North Fork of the Snoqualmie River. From Lennox Mountain a second ridge with rocky double cliffs is formed running East towards Coney's Cones-South Peak where the Coney Basin and Coney Lake sit which produces a tributary of the west fork of Miller River. Access to Lennox Mountain is from Bare Mountain trailhead which reaches Canoe Peak.

Coney Lake is a small alpine lake located in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness in King County, Washington. Coney Lake sits in a bowl formed by a rocky double cliff bifurcation of the south ridge of Lennox Mountain that connects to Coney's Cones-South Peak. Coney Lake is the origin of Coney Creek, which is a tributary of the west fork of Miller River. Lake Kanim is situated over the opposite side of the ridge as Lennox Mountain splits towards Canoe Peak. Coney Creek exits down over 1000 feet to a cirque making a waterfall that hugs a crevice along the cliff face of the south skirt of Lennox Mountain.

Anderson Lake is a small freshwater lake located on the southern slope of Dog Mountain between Marten Lake and Dream Lake, part of the Alpine Lakes Wilderness in King County, Washington.

Boner Lake is an alpine freshwater lake located on a prominent plateau at the eastern ridge of Crosby Mountain, a short distance south of Palmer Mountain and U.S. Route 2 by the community of Baring in King County, Washington. Boner Lake shares the high valley with Cement Lake, while Crosby Lake is at the opposite side of the Corsby Mountain ridge. Boner lake is surrounded by talus cliffs and slopes and gains access to Crosby Mountain starting at Bing Peak and old-growth forests and the associated logging spur. Boner Lake is a small 2.4 acres (0.97 ha) lake and it is stocked with golden trout.

Marten Lake is a freshwater lake located on the southern slope of Dog Mountain in King County, Washington, United States. It is west of Anderson Lake, part of the Alpine Lakes Wilderness. Marten Creek exits Marten Lake into a canyon that produces a tributary to the Taylor River. Because of its proximity to Dog Mountain summit and the cirque of Rooster Mountain to the west, the lake is a popular area for hiking, swimming, and fishing cutthroat trout and rainbow trout. Access to Marten Lake is provided through an unmaintained access trail that splits off the Snoqualmie Lake Trail.A short distance east of Lake Marten is a short side trail that branches off Taylor River Trail, shortly after the crossing of Otter Creek, that leads to Otter Falls, a snow-driven waterfall which drops directly into Lipsy Lake. Dream Lake is further east past Otter Falls.

Crosby Lake is an alpine freshwater lake located on a plateau at the northern skirt of Crosby Mountain, a short distance south of Red Mountain and Palmer Mountain in King County, Washington. Boner Lake is at the opposite side of the Crosby Mountain ridge. Crosby Lake is a small 1.4 acres (0.57 ha) lake and it is stocked with golden trout.

Otter Falls (also Otter Slide, Otter Slide Falls or Otter Creek Falls) is a waterfall in King County, Washington; on the southern wall of Mount Anderson. It drops about 1,600 feet (490 m) in all, but due to the relatively moderate pitch of the mountainside, only about 1/3 of the total height can be seen from the ground. The drainage of Otter Creek, which feeds the falls, is fairly small, and consists mostly of granite which does not retain water. Therefore, the waterfall relies entirely on snowmelt to flow and often dries up by July. Otter Creek is a tributary of the Taylor River that flows about 1 mile (1.6 km) off Mount Anderson, 1/2 of which is spent tumbling off these falls.

Dream Lake is a freshwater lake located on the southern slope of Dog Mountain in King County, Washington, United States. It is west of Otter Lake, part of the Alpine Lakes Wilderness. Big Creek, a tributary to the Taylor River, exits Dream Lake into a canyon that produces Big Creek Falls. Because of its proximity to Dog Mountain summit and the cirque of Rooster Mountain to the west, the lake is a popular area for hiking, swimming, and fishing and rainbow trout. Access to Dream Lake is provided through an unmaintained access trail that splits off the Snoqualmie Lake Trail.A short distance west of Dream Lake is a short side trail that branches off Taylor River Trail, shortly after the crossing of Otter Creek, that leads to Otter Falls, a snow-driven waterfall which drops directly into Lipsy Lake. Marten Lake is further west past Otter Falls.
