Arbuthnot Lake, Arbuthnet Lake, or Lower Chain Lake is a lake in the Mount Baker Wilderness Area, in Whatcom County, Washington, United States. It is one of the Galena Chain lakes. At one end of the lake is "Arbuthnot Falls".
"Arbuthnot was suggested 1906 as an appropriate name for the fourth lake, after James Arbuthnot, of Arbuthnot and Davis the two miners who tunnelled through the ridge between it and Natatorium Lake and with 52 sticks of giant powder blew out the face of the tunnel and lowered the surface of Natatorium 9 feet by drawing off the water through this drainage tube, for the purpose of exposing a vein of ore just in the edge of the lake."
