Long Lake in Othello, Grant County offers a WDFW-managed boat ramp providing convenient water access for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boaters. The facility includes a standard boat launch, two toilets, and some shore fishing access nearby. The ramp can experience heavier use during peak seasons, and conditions may become slick during busy periods, so plan accordingly and arrive early during summer months or popular fishing times.
The lake supports a healthy fishery including largemouth bass, rock bass, yellow perch, pumpkinseed sunfish, and catfish, making it popular with anglers. Long Lake is situated near the scenic Columbia National Wildlife Refuge, offering paddlers opportunities to explore a quiet, peaceful landscape with expansive views. The area is also relatively close to the Potholes Reservoir system, part of the Columbia Basin Project, providing options for extended water recreation in the region.
