Sprague Lake Wildlife Area offers a public boat launch on the southwest end of Sprague Lake near the town of Sprague in Adams County. The site features a concrete single-lane ramp (20 feet wide) with 5 parking lots, 3 ADA parking spaces, and 1 restroom facility. The access area is open year-round and provides a developed launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats looking to access this 9,000-acre water body.
**Recreation Opportunities**
Beyond paddling, the site includes interpretive trails and a wildlife viewing platform, making it ideal for paddlers interested in exploring the scenic wetlands and uplands surrounding the lake.

**Planning Your Visit**
As a Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife site, the launch is managed for public access and wildlife conservation. Hand launches are not available, so a boat ramp is necessary. Plan accordingly and practice responsible recreation ethics on this public land resource.
