I fish upper a fair amount, Yes it is a cement launch but even tho the parking lot says boat trailer parking only the visitors fill it up and sometimes it is hard to find a place to park close to the launch.

It is not a big lake but deep over 100FOW in spots. Large bull trout not the easiest lake to fish but one of the most picturesque.

You can get over to Spray from Boulton but it is a trip on gravel so if you do go make sure you have a good gravel guard for your boat.

Sorry about cold lake.

No walking across it and does not affect fish.

Good to hear,so I guess its worth hauling a boat up there,behind truck and camper. How are the roads, are there any major hills that my truck has to climb and over heat on its way to the campgrounds

NOPE paved all the way. Only thing gravel is if you decide to go over to Spray.
