Silver Lake Fishing Dock
Description:
Silver Lake in Spokane County is an extremely popular year-round recreational site for fishing, boating, swimming and wildlife watching. Silver Lake has one of the better warmwater fisheries in the Spokane area and also enjoys a good trout fishery. The WDFW access site is particularly busy all spring, summer and well into the fall, both on weekends and during the week. In order to accommodate the heavy use, the access site has two concrete plank boat ramps and two concrete vault toilets but no access for shore anglers. One of the best uses of public funds to increase angling access is constructing fishing docks. It provides key access to anglers that do not have boats. They are currently forced to fish from the shoreline next to and on top of the existing boat ramps. This often causes conflicts between user groups. ADA fishing docks provide much-needed easy access to prime fishing for many individuals and families, both able-bodied and disabled. They are also a very visible example of state money going directly to improve access for the tax payers that provide the funding. This project will also include a viewing platform to observe anglers, recreators, birds, other wildlife and scenery.
