About This Access Site
Spencer Lake is a 213-acre freshwater lake in Mason County offering year-round public access via this Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife managed launch site. The facility features a concrete plank boat ramp suitable for kayaks, canoes, and motorboats, with ample parking available. A pit toilet is on-site for visitor convenience, though amenities are basic. The calm, protected waters make this an accessible option for paddlers of various skill levels.

The lake supports healthy populations of rainbow trout, perch, smallmouth bass, and largemouth bass, making it popular with anglers as well as recreational boaters and paddlers. Spencer Lake's modest size and gentle character make it ideal for day trips, fishing outings, and casual paddling. When planning your visit, note that there are no designated hand launch areas or fishing platforms, so be prepared for standard boat ramp access. Check current conditions before heading out, as wind and weather can impact paddling on open water.
