Wannacut Lake

Wannacut Lake is a 428-acre lake located approximately 5 miles southwest of Oroville in scenic Okanogan County, Washington. The public boat ramp provides year-round access for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters. The access site features a renovated launch area with improved parking, accessible pathways, and basic amenities including one restroom and a single parking lot. There are no hand launch areas or ADA facilities available, so plan accordingly if you need accessible features.

This is a good destination for paddlers seeking a moderately-sized lake setting. Shore access is somewhat limited, but anglers and recreational paddlers can find places to explore at both the north and south ends of the lake. The north end offers deeper water that may be more suitable during warmer months. Note that camping is not permitted at this access site, so plan for day-use only. Nearby recreation areas like Split Rock Day-Use Area on Palmer Lake and Spectacle Lake offer additional paddling and outdoor opportunities in the region.
