Nile Lake Access

Nile Lake Access provides shore-based boat launch and fishing access to Nile Lake, located 6½ miles southwest of Ione near Highway SR-20 in the Colville National Forest at 3,190 feet elevation.

Small boats can be launched directly from shore, and the lake offers good shoreline access for anglers year-round. Two-pole fishing is permitted, and visitors should exercise caution to avoid disturbing Common Loons that are regularly observed on the lake.
