About This Access Site
Goose Lake Campground offers a concrete boat ramp with a 10-vehicle parking lot, making it a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorboats on this popular fishing and recreation lake. The day-use area includes picnic tables and vault toilets. Note that **electric motors only are permitted on the water**, and access to the lake is typically snowbound until late spring, so plan your visit for late May onward. An extra vehicle fee of $8.00 applies.

The lake is stocked with trout multiple times per season and is known as a family-friendly destination for fishing and swimming. Campsites are available at the U.S. Forest Service campground on a first-come, first-served basis for tent camping only, with no potable water available. To reach the site from Vancouver, WA, take SR 14 east to Cook-Underwood Road (mile post 56-1/2), then continue north approximately 8 miles on narrow gravel roads through Mill A and Willard to the campground. For reservations or more information, contact the facility at 541-338-7869.
