I think I got the name of the lake right. It's the one big lake in Vancouver Washington. So has any body paddled there? Are there put-ins. Can I expect lots of drunken power boats and water rockets? I don't suppose we could be so lucky as to have the lake be motor free? What about water quality? George, Dave, Bradford, the guy from North Plains?

There is a public acess on the NW edge of the lake <off 501 west> as well as a boat ramp on the Lake River _at_ Falida <122nd ave off Seaward rd.> No jet skis, lots of wildlife north <left> of the county park. I usually see a baldie or 2 as well as lots of other sea birds, otters, beaver, etc. My favorite though is Ridgefield and the Bachlor Island loop, just downstream a ways. Check out the store for more info.
