Marcus Island Campground

Marcus Island Campground offers a boat launch with dedicated parking on Franklin D. Roosevelt Lake, a large reservoir on the Columbia River. The launch provides access to the lake, though paddlers should note that the ramp's usability depends on water levels, which can vary seasonally. The launch is conveniently located before the campground entrance, making it easy to access without navigating the single-lane, winding campground road.

**Practical Information:** The boat launch requires a weekly fee ($10 for seven consecutive days) or annual fee ($60, vendor only), paid online in advance. The nearby Marcus Island Campground offers reservable campsites at $23/night through Recreation.gov (509-754-7889) if you plan to stay overnight. The facility is located on Highway 25, about 5.7 miles north of Kettle Falls, WA. The area is heavily shaded and popular in summer, making it a good option for families and anglers, with additional campgrounds nearby on the lake.
