Coney Lake is a small alpine lake located in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness in King County, Washington. Coney Lake sits in a bowl formed by a rocky double cliff bifurcation of the south ridge of Lennox Mountain that connects to Coney's Cones-South Peak. Coney Lake is the origin of Coney Creek, which is a tributary of the west fork of Miller River.[2] Lake Kanim is situated over the opposite side of the ridge as Lennox Mountain splits towards Canoe Peak.
Coney Creek exits down over 1000 feet to a cirque making a waterfall that hugs a crevice along the cliff face of the south skirt of Lennox Mountain.
