Lake Bosworth
Recreation on the water and in the woods
Lake Bosworth has a public boat launch for non-motorized boats at its northern end, used frequently by kayakers and paddleboarders. "We call it a pond lake because it’s smaller," Keating says. "You can’t get big boats out there, so it’s mostly for fishing."Directly north of Lake Bosworth is the O’Reilly Acres County Park Reserve. The 92-acre park has multiple hiking trails, plus fishing along the Pilchuck River. There’s also a campground with sites for both RVs and tents. A playground area is accompanied by picnic tables and a disc golf course. Additionally, Mount Pilchuck State Park is roughly 23 miles east in the Cascade Mountains. A hiking trail that doubles as a snowshoeing trail in the winter winds through forests and beds of rocks to a historic fire lookout at the summit. The trailhead has a camping and picnic area.

Lakefront homes and properties on Skinner Road
Most homes in Lake Bosworth are lined along country roads and sit on large lots surrounded by thick trees. There are a handful of homes along the perimeter of the lake – traditional single-story homes and manufactured homes built between the 1950s and 1970s are common. These smaller properties span 500 to 700 square feet and cost $575,000 to $650,000. Alternatively, there are multi-story lake houses with traditional architecture, some with balconies and large porches. Prices fall between $900,000 and $1 million for homes that stretch 2,100 to 2,800 square feet. “It’s rare for lakefront homes to come up on the market,” Keating says.North of the lake are more residential properties along Skinner Road. Modern multi-story homes built in the 2000s and 2010s are the common housing type – some have Craftsman features, while others showcase cabin-inspired architecture. Wrap-around porches and picture windows are shared components. Homes go for $825,000 to $1.4 million. Ranch-style homes in the area cost anywhere between $425,000 to $1 million, depending on the property size, age and condition. The CAP Index crime score for Lake Bosworth is 1 out of 10, which is lower than the national average of 4.
