Twin Lakes are a pair of lakes located in the Mount Baker Wilderness, in Whatcom County, Washington. They are between Winchester Mountain and Goat Mountain, near Mount Larrabee, a few miles off Mount Baker Highway east of Glacier, Washington.
The road up to the Twin Lakes, FR-3065, is maintained by the United States Forest Service until about 2 miles out from the lakes. The last two miles of road are a remnant from the Mount Baker gold rush, leading up to Lone Jack Mine and Gargett Mine.
