Located at the north end of Lopez Island in San Juan County, Hummel Lake offers a public boat ramp maintained by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. This 34-acre freshwater lake provides a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorboats. The access site includes a boat ramp and toilet facilities, making it suitable for day trips and recreational paddling.
Hummel Lake is known for fishing opportunities, with stocked rainbow trout and resident bluegill and largemouth bass populations. The quiet freshwater setting makes it ideal for paddlers looking for a calm, protected paddling environment. The lake's northern location on Lopez Island also provides convenient access to the broader San Juan Islands region, with nearby recreation at San Juan Island National Historical Park and the San Juan Islands National Wildlife Refuge—both excellent for exploring saltwater paddling and wildlife viewing opportunities.
