👍👍 Small, two-level parking lot. There was plenty of room when I was there on a Wednesday morning, but I could imagine it getting crowded quickly on a weekend.

    Small, two-level parking lot. There was plenty of room when I was there on a Wednesday morning, but I could imagine it getting crowded quickly on a weekend. Small dock, small boat ramp, and about 20 feet of clear 'beach'. Saw comments about boats getting snagged on underwater branches and trees, I had no problem with that - just gave myself plenty of room around the trees that I could see, and my little kayak did fine. As others have said, the shore is lined with woods, not houses, but I did see what appeared to be a couple picnic areas. Not sure if they were private property or not. Will definitely come back.

    Small launch but there’s no rush. Not too many people taking large boats out here so the in and out time is quick. Adequate parking. Was a guy passed out in a running truck with the windows down on a close to 100 degree day but that’s expected from about any parking lot in Washington now days.

    Fishing is great, but the lake itself is very dangerous. Always wear a life jacket and never swim it. Even search and rescue won't put divers at risk here.

    Not going to lie, it's a nice place. Don't bring a large boat though because the water is shallow and there's a lot of logs and stumps in the water. There's a small fishing pier there but I've never caught anything from it. You'll need a Discover pass to park here and they do have folks that come here from time to time to make sure people have them.

    Have been looking for a lake in my area to try out my new used 12 foot boat and outboard to run myself, this lake looks like what I was looking for. Thank you for all the info and photos!! Judy

    I live near it. The lake is awesome. Parking is great. Swimming is okay. The Rangers are super awesome for protecting us and the park. Hey, you cant get it better when there is only one access to the lake if you wanna go boating. GREAT JOB NATIVE AMERICANS!!!! They control the South East side of the lake. I can see their fireworks shows above the tops of some trees. The lake might have stumps, and is scarey as HECK when you go swimming and one gets ya....then think of JAWS.....Is even good for remote controlled boats. I have a couple electric for me n the kids to play bumper boats with um. Or ....sink um. A fun lake. Cant wait to see the Ghosts who were in the City below. I wonder if the two guys who went to see the houses joined the rest since they could not be found. BOOO!!!

    Simple boat launch for smaller boats. No engine boats, electric is fine. Great place to kayak and fish. No swimming allowed and I wouldn't there are leeches in the lake. Very stumpy and submerged logs in the lake so take your time and be careful. There is a vault toilet here, however it's usually in a funky state. Lots of birds of prey to watch.

    This lake is dangerous. Lots of hidden stumps. Great for fishing but be careful. Not good for bigger boats. No shoreline access. I was here to help search for a missing boater who lost his life on the lake because of the stumps.

    It's Memorial day, so there were entirely too many boats for the size of the launch. It's not usually so busy, but having an extra launch would have made exiting much smoother. It would also be nice if people made an effort to pack out their trash, and not just leave it. Anyways, the lake is beautiful and everyone was friendly!

    Fishing is pretty decent but you either have to trickily maneuver your vehicle in the oddly planned parking lot to unload your boat into the small boat launch or better be OK with hiking down steep(short) trails to most likely lose a few lures on the logs. Definitely not accommodating for families with small children.
