Big Flat Habitat Management Unit offers a single-lane boat ramp providing access to Dalton Lake, a 45-acre recreational water body in Franklin County near Levey, Washington. The ramp provides good shoreline access for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorboats. Dalton Lake is stocked with rainbow trout, making it a popular spot for fishing and paddling. Free parking is available at the site.
The facility includes basic amenities such as picnic tables and a picnic shelter. Camping is permitted in the parking lot, and Charbonneau Park and Campground (reservable) is located within 10 miles if you prefer developed camping. Keep in mind that the site is part of a habitat management unit where hunting is allowed seasonally—watch for waterfowl, upland game, and deer hunting activity. Be aware of potential hazards including rattlesnakes and ticks, particularly during warmer months. The McNary National Wildlife Refuge is nearby, offering additional exploration opportunities in the region.
