About
Ferry Lake Campground is a secluded 9-unit campground located in the Colville National Forest, offering peaceful lakeside camping with excellent trout fishing. The campground features a mix of tent sites, camper/van sites, and small motorhome/trailer sites, each equipped with a parking spur, picnic table, and fire ring. Large RVs are not recommended due to the limited turn-around space at the end of the campground road. The 20-acre lake is regularly stocked with catchable-size rainbow trout, with late spring to early summer being the prime fishing season. To protect breeding loons, lead weights or lead jigs measuring 1.5 inches or less are prohibited, and two-pole fishing is allowed. Internal combustion engines are banned on the lake, ensuring a quiet atmosphere where visitors can hear ducks and loons calling to each other. A public boat launch accommodates small watercraft. Two vault toilets serve the campground, but no drinking water is available. Swan Lake and Fish Lake are within 3 miles for additional day trip fishing excursions. Wildflowers and huckleberries attract visitors during the summer months. The campground is located 14 miles from Republic, Washington, the nearest town for groceries and fishing supplies.
