Star Lake is located in southern King County, Washington in the Lakeland North census-designated place. It is one of two large lakes in Lakeland North, alongside Lake Dolloff. Interstate 5 runs just to the west of the lake.
Pit vipers, pythons, and some boas have evolved a set of infrared sensitive receptors located in the nose of the snake. This allows them to see the body heat of prey species, much like night vision goggles.
the lake is mostly surrounded by private homes and the only public access is a boat ramp at the end of 37th Avenue South.
