Sunshine Resorts provides a year-round boat ramp access point on Lower Crab Creek near Moses Lake in Grant County. This primitive launch facility includes a parking lot and is suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorboats looking to explore the Lower Crab Creek system and connect to the broader Moses Lake area.
**Important Seasonal Consideration:** Water levels on Crab Creek are heavily influenced by irrigation operations as part of the Columbia Basin Project. This ramp may become inaccessible during low water periods, which typically occur in summer and fall months. Paddlers should check current water conditions before planning trips during these seasons. The area is open year-round, though summer and fall may present challenges for launch access.
The surrounding region offers additional recreation opportunities, including nearby Potholes Reservoir and the Desert Wildlife Recreation Area with its network of reservoirs, waterways, and ponds. This location serves as a good base for exploring the interconnected water systems in the Moses Lake area.
