Silver Beach Resort offers a well-developed boat launch and day-use area on the western end of Rimrock Lake, located just 10 miles from White Pass and about an hour from Yakima. The facility includes a protected boat ramp, moorage docks, and dedicated parking for trailers. Day-use fees apply (approximately $15-$25 depending on your activity), and the area operates on a first-come, first-served basis. Be aware that parking fills quickly on weekends during peak season.
Rimrock Lake is a reservoir created by Tieton Dam on the Tieton River and is known for strong winds, particularly in afternoon hours. However, Silver Beach's boat ramp and dock areas are well-protected, making it a good launching point even in moderate wind conditions. The resort offers additional amenities including a store, restaurant, kayak and paddleboard rentals, and both camping and cabin accommodations, making it convenient for multi-day trips. Nearby campgrounds like Willows and Hause Creek provide alternative overnight options within 10 miles if the resort is full.
