Located off O'Gara Bay Road in Chatcolet near the village of Round Lake, this public access site offers a concrete boat ramp with sandy sides—ideal for kayakers and canoeists launching or landing. The site entrance is marked by a roadside sign, making it easy to locate. The hard-surfaced ramp provides reliable access regardless of water levels, accommodating both small paddlecraft and motorboats.
This is one of three public boat launches on Round Lake, a popular recreational destination in Benewah County. The access point serves as a gateway to exploring the lake's waters, with nearby Popcorn Island offering a small camping and picnic opportunity. For overnight stays, Bell Bay Campground is available within 10 miles and offers reservable sites. Paddlers should note the concrete ramp's sandy shoulders, which work well for kayak and canoe landings.
