Lake Shoecraft

Lake Shoecraft is a 132-acre lake in Stanwood offering public water access via a boat ramp on the southwest corner. This WDFW access point is suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats, with a toilet facility available on-site. The ramp provides reliable launching and retrieval for various watercraft types.

Paddlers should be aware that the lake contains Eurasian watermilfoil, an invasive aquatic plant that may affect paddling conditions. While the access area is generally accessible for those with mobility aids, specific disability features like wheelchair ramps are not available. The lake is popular with anglers for catchable-size rainbow trout, so you may encounter fishing activity. Check current conditions and any invasive species protocols before launching.
