Had an e-mail from DFW and the Kapowsin launch is in the works. A construction co. was given the contract for the ramp and work will begin as soon as weather permits. The department will build the new dock and start early summer, all should be complete no later than Aug 15.

I wish they would put this info on the DFW site.
Mike if you need the name and e-mail of my connection let me know by e-mail.

Bill G ~ Do you know where abouts on the lake they're putting the launch at? That will be nice to have! I've only fished that lake once and we launched from the Rainier Timber property launch (permit required) and then I heard that the Erickson's (think that is what it's called) Boat Launch had some trouble and closed for awhile, but don't know if it ever opened back up.

Ericson's is up and running. It is my understanding that the new launch will be in the same area as the old launch, about 1/4 mile before Ericson's.

Yes Basser is right. The new launch will be on the State ouwed property where the pipe gate is now. It will have a fishing dock also. As far as Ericson's Resort Harry Ericson is running it now. He has cleaned it up and it is very respectable now. He only has a ramp made of plywood that you slide cartop type boats down and pull back up. He does rent boats and motors and has a small store with bait and pop and such.
Tanya, the contractor for the State boat launch is an Eatonville Company but I don't know the Name.

I believe one of the "deals" WDFW made to get the launch was that the county would be enforcing a 5mph speed limit on the lake............

I don't have positive confirmation on that issue, but can recall it from a discussion on the subject 4 or 5 years ago... (my first forum discussions on the kapowsin launch go back to 1999.. so this topic has been flopping around for a long, long time)...

initially I was totally opposed to the ramp but I have gradually and reluctantly modified my views..... the 5 mph speed limit was a major factor in this change............

rofl You said enforce a 5mph speed limit.
They will not even stop the crankhead shooting range and 4x4 park that has popped up.

Lake Kapowsin will enforce it's own speed limit.
