Wlicox Lakes are located in North Cascades National Park, in the U. S. state of Washington.[2] The Wilcox Lakes consists of two small lakes and several more tarns and are 1.1 mi (1.8 km) northeast of Stout Lake. The Wilcox Lakes are the origination point for the East Fork Nehalem Creek and the lakes were named for Paul B. Wilcox who was the first to discover them.[1]
