Lake Lawrence is a 330-acre (1.3 km2) lake located near Yelm in Thurston County, Washington, United States.[1] Lake Lawrence hosts yearly APBA speed boat races in the spring and in the fall. Lake Lawrence is often referred to "the fastest racing water in the world" because records are often set, and beaten on the lake.

A notable glacial erratic, the Lake Lawrence erratic, abuts a county road near the lake.
