Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife Water Access Sites
http://wdfw.wa.gov/lands/water_access/
 In Washington, more than 453 water recreation sites owned or maintained by the Department of Fish and Wildlife provide boating access to lakes, rivers, and marine areas. The agency maintains a database of statewide water access locations. Boaters and anglers can search for a particular waterway by plugging in the name of the site, the county, or body of water. Among other information, the database provides visitors with the site’s Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates and the type of fish stocked or available in the lake or river.
NOTE: All visitors to state wildlife areas must obtain and display a current Vehicle Use Permit from the department.
