Lake Lawrence is a 330-acre (1.3 km2) lake located near Yelm in Thurston County, Washington, United States.[1] The lake is impounded by Lake Lawrence Dam.[2]

Lake Lawrence was named after Lindley and Sam Lawrence, businesspeople in the local logging industry.[3] A notable glacial erratic, the Lake Lawrence erratic, abuts a county road near the lake.
