Carney Lake is a 38-acre lake located in Gig Harbor, Pierce County, offering a public boat launch managed by Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife (WDFW). The access features a primitive gravel ramp suitable for launching kayaks, canoes, and small boats, along with toilet facilities on-site. **Important note: Internal combustion engines and motorized watercraft are prohibited**, making this an ideal destination for paddlers seeking a quiet water experience.
The lake is regularly stocked with rainbow and brown trout fry in the 8-12" range, attracting both anglers and recreational paddlers. Good shoreline access is available for exploration and fishing. Before visiting, paddlers should check current conditions and any seasonal access restrictions with WDFW.
