Starvation Lake

Starvation Lake is a small 27.6-acre freshwater lake located at 2,370 feet elevation in Stevens County, near Colville, Washington. The DNR campground provides public boat launch access, with a fishing dock and good shoreline access available. A Washington Discover Pass is required to use the boat ramp and campground facilities. The lake is stocked with rainbow trout, making it popular with anglers and recreational boaters.

Paddlers should be aware that dense lily pads and water vegetation cover much of the lake, making a kayak or canoe ideal for navigating these shallow areas. The small size and protected setting make this a suitable destination for beginners and families looking for calm-water paddling. The site offers amenities including picnic tables and fire rings at the campground, supporting a full day of recreation.
