Island Lake near Shelton offers a state-managed public access point with a hand launch suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and small boats. The site features a single parking lot and one toilet facility. Note that while this is a developed access area, there is no boat ramp available, making it best suited for hand-launched watercraft or smaller vessels.
Island Lake provides good recreational fishing opportunities, including fair fishing for largemouth and smallmouth bass, good yellow perch fishing, and a daily trout limit of 5 fish. The access area is open year-round, making it accessible for paddlers throughout the seasons. No camping is permitted at the site itself, and the area has limited amenities, so plan accordingly. The location in Mason County offers a convenient launch point for exploring this inland lake.
