Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife Water Access Sites
http://wdfw.wa.gov/lands/water_access/index.html
In Washington, more than 453 water recreation sites owned or maintained by the Department of Fish and Wildlife provide boating access to lakes, rivers, and marine areas. The agency maintains a database of statewide water access locations. Boaters and anglers can search for a particular waterway by plugging in the name of the site, the county, or body of water. Among other information, the database provides visitors with the site’s Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates and the type of fish stocked or available in the lake or river.

NOTE: All visitors to state wildlife areas must obtain and display a current Vehicle Use Permit from the department.

“Washington State is a boater’s paradise for fishing, playing, sightseeing or just enjoying some good old-fashioned peace and quiet on the water,” so writes the state Department of Tourism on its boating Web page. Whether you like to motor, canoe, whitewater raft, kayak, or all of the above, this site offers you a guide to the best lakes, rivers, and Pacific coastal waters for doing it all. The site also helps visitors identify groups and businesses that offer classes, charters, family programs, and specialty tours.
