The Hog Lake boat ramp provides year-round access to Hog Canyon Lake in the Fishtrap Recreation Area near Fishtrap, Spokane County. Be aware that the access road's final 100 yards is quite rough, and the boat ramp itself is unimproved, so plan accordingly for launching smaller watercraft like kayaks and canoes. The site includes one parking lot and a restroom facility. Vehicle access is restricted to regulated sport fishing seasons, though the area remains open year-round for non-motorized recreation.
Paddlers should note that portions of the lake's shoreline are bordered by cliffs and are inaccessible, but substantial areas remain suitable for paddling and fishing. The lake sits within the 9,000-acre Fishtrap Recreation Area, a former farmland landscape now managed for public use. When visiting, remember to follow outdoor ethics and recreate responsibly on public lands. For specific regulations, seasons, and catch limits, consult the current fishing regulations pamphlet before your visit.
