Reynolds Resort provides boat launch access to Buffalo Lake, located on the Colville Indian Reservation approximately 5 miles south of Nespelem in Okanogan County. This is a full-service facility offering camping accommodations (cabins and RV sites with full hookups), making it convenient for multi-day paddling trips. The resort operates seasonally from April through October and requires reservations.
The resort caters to a variety of water activities including kayaking, canoeing, boating, and fishing. In addition to the boat launch, the site offers swimming and nearby hiking opportunities, with the surrounding area known for scenic mountain views and wildlife. Paddlers should note that this access point is on tribal lands, so visitors should be prepared to obtain any necessary permits and respect reservation regulations.
