**Location & Access**
The Ell Lake boat ramp is located approximately 12 miles southeast of Tonasket in Okanogan County, accessed via Aeneas Valley Road. This is a Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) managed access area, providing public boat launch facilities for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters.
**What to Know Before You Go**
Be aware that Ell Lake has experienced extremely low water levels in recent years, which may affect launch conditions and boating opportunities. It's advisable to contact WDFW or check current water conditions before planning your trip. Note that boats and tubes must be carried to the water, so be prepared for a portage. The site serves as a popular access point for fishing and recreational boating in the Tonasket area.
