Wenas Lake

Wenas Lake offers a public boat ramp access point in Yakima County near Naches, making it a convenient launch location for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boaters. The site includes basic amenities with outdoor toilets available. To reach the ramp, take North Wenas Road out of Selah and follow it to the lake. The lake is popular with anglers and provides year-round recreational opportunities in the central Washington area.

The site's proximity to notable recreation areas adds versatility for a day trip. Nearby options include the Cowiche Canyon Trail System (just outside Yakima), which features nearly 900 acres of non-motorized recreation, and the scenic Yakima River Canyon with its rolling desert hills and dramatic basalt cliffs. Be aware that boating restrictions, including any motorized boating prohibitions, are established by local ordinance, so check current regulations before launching.
