Long Lake

Long Lake in Port Orchard offers a convenient public boat ramp for kayakers, canoeists, and recreational boaters. The WDFW-managed access point includes a functional boat launch and toilet facilities, with some additional shore fishing access available near the ramp. The ramp can accommodate standard trailer traffic, though conditions may become slick during peak use periods, so exercise caution when launching.

This calm freshwater lake provides a good paddling destination for those seeking protected water conditions. Long Lake is also popular with anglers targeting yellow perch, pumpkinseed sunfish, largemouth bass, rock bass, brown bullhead catfish, and common carp—making it an attractive spot for combined paddling and fishing outings. Expect moderate crowds during warm summer months and salmon runs.
