Lewis Glacier is in Wenatchee National Forest in the U.S. state of Washington and is 1 mi (1.6 km) southeast of Black Peak.[2] Lewis Glacier is located on the north flank of Corteo Peak just east of the border of North Cascades National Park and has a pronounced terminal moraine now well below the current terminus of the glacier.

Lewis Glacier is now said to have disappeared.[3]
