Lake Pateros Access

Lake Pateros Access provides boat launch facilities for recreational access to Lake Pateros, a 20-mile Columbia River reservoir in Okanogan County.

Multiple launch points are available in the Pateros area, including the Methow Boat Launch (seasonal, typically closed October-March) and Ives Landing Park (year-round operation with RV/tent camping, restrooms, free showers, and ample vehicle/trailer parking).

Both locations offer convenient access for fishing, paddling, and water recreation on the lower lake and connecting Methow River.
