Silver Lake

Silver Lake in Medical Lake, Spokane County offers year-round public boat access via a dedicated boat ramp facility. The access area includes a parking lot with ADA-accessible parking stalls and restroom facilities, making it convenient for day-use paddlers and boaters. The lake is ideal for kayaking and canoeing, with a 10 horsepower motor restriction that keeps the water quieter and safer for non-motorized craft.

This scenic access point is well-positioned for exploring a productive fishery that supports largemouth bass, yellow perch, black crappie, and brown bullhead catfish. Paddlers should note that a Washington State Discover Pass is required for parking at the WDFW boat ramp. Silver Lake also provides proximity to the Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge—a 23,000+ acre protected area established in 1937—offering paddlers additional recreational opportunities in the surrounding region.
