Moses Lake Park provides year-round boat access to Lower Crab Creek and Moses Lake in Grant County, Washington. This primitive launch facility offers a straightforward entry point for kayakers, canoeists, and small boats exploring the area. The site features a parking lot, making it convenient for day trips, though note that ADA accessible parking is not available.
**Important Planning Consideration:** Water levels at this access point are heavily influenced by irrigation demands on the Columbia Basin Project. During summer and fall months, water levels drop significantly, which may render this primitive launch inaccessible or difficult to use. Paddlers should check current water conditions before visiting during these seasons. The site is open year-round, but spring and early summer are typically more reliable for consistent water access.
The location provides gateway access to both Lower Crab Creek and the broader Moses Lake system, with nearby recreation including the scenic Columbia National Wildlife Refuge and Potholes Reservoir. This is a good choice for those seeking quieter paddling experiences away from more developed launch areas.
