Lake Fenwick Trail Kent boat launch
Lake Fenwick Trail Kent
The boat ramp is a concrete ramp that is 20 feet wide and 96 feet long. It has a gradual slope, making it easy for boaters to launch and retrieve their vessels. The ramp also has a floating dock, which is available for boaters to tie up their boats while they park their vehicles.
Lake Fenwick Trail Kent boat ramp is designed for small boats, including canoes, kayaks, rowboats, and small motorized boats. The lake has a speed limit of 5 mph, so it is a popular destination for fishing and paddling.
As of the latest information available, the boat ramp is open daily from dawn until dusk. Boaters are required to have a Washington State Discover Pass displayed in their vehicle when using the boat launch. The fee for using the boat ramp is $8 per day, or an annual pass can be purchased for $80.

Boating safety & etiquette
- Check the conditions before you launch
- Use the streamflow numbers, weather, and wind forecast on this page. High-cfs whitewater requires whitewater-specific craft and skill.
- Wear your life jacket
- Statistically the single biggest survival factor in a boating incident. State law often requires one per passenger.
- File a float plan
- Tell someone on shore your put-in, take-out, and expected return time. Especially for multi-day or remote trips.
- Yield at the ramp
- Prep gear in the parking lot, not on the ramp. Launch and clear quickly so others can use the lane.
- Clean, drain, dry
- Inspect, clean, drain and dry your boat between waters to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species.
Set push alerts in the Snoflo app

About Lake Fenwick Trail Kent
Can I launch a motorboat here?
Most Snoflo-tracked launches support motorboats; check the operator for any horsepower restrictions, paddle-only zones, or seasonal closures.
How fresh is the streamflow data?
USGS streamgauges report continuously (every 15 minutes); the table on this page pulls the latest reading at page load.
Is there a fee?
Many federal and state boat launches charge a day-use fee. Check the operator's site before driving out.
What boat is right for these conditions?
Use the nearby streamflow numbers and river-run panel on this page to gauge current conditions. Wider, slower water is friendly for casual paddling and powerboats; high-cfs whitewater requires whitewater-specific craft and skill.
Can I get alerts when conditions change?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this launch, set a threshold (discharge, wind), and you'll get a push the moment it crosses.
