Smith Lake is a small lake located in northern Camano Island just outside of Livingston Bay. It’s nestled northeast of the Camaloch Association Golf Course off of NE. Camano Dr. There’s one entrance on McElroy Drive just north of the golf course. While there are several smaller residential neighborhoods in this area, there are only 41 lots around the small Smith Lake. Several of these lots have constructed homes and several still have homes yet to be built.
