Lake Pateros Access

Lake Pateros Access provides year-round boat launch access to Lake Pateros (a 20-mile Columbia River reservoir) with two main launch points in Pateros: the seasonal Methow Boat Launch and the year-around Ives Landing Park.

Ives Landing Park offers comprehensive amenities including restrooms, free hot showers, RV camping with hookups, tent camping, picnic facilities, and ample vehicle/trailer parking, making it ideal for fishing and paddling trips.

Both launches are popular for salmon and bass fishing, with Ives Landing particularly noted for winter waterfowl hunting access.
