Waughop Lake Access
Waughop Lake Access
Waughop Lake Access is located within Fort Steilacoom Park in Lakewood and offers good shoreline access for fishing and recreational activities.
The site features a nearly one-mile paved loop trail around the 33-acre lake, making it suitable for walking, jogging, and paddling, though there is no developed boat launch—small craft must be hand-carried to the water.
The lake is open year-round and provides opportunities for fishing, bird watching, and model boat racing in a popular park setting.
