About Battle Ground Lake State Park

This state park sits in the foothills of the Cascade Range northeast of Battle Ground. Evergreen woods surround a spring-fed lake that formed in a volcanic crater. Visitors can swim, paddle, fish and hike, and the park offers tent, RV, cabin and horse camping. A non-motorized boat ramp serves the lake, though electric motors are allowed. Picnic shelters, picnic tables and a seasonal store with rental kayaks and paddleboards are also available. Summer Saturday interpretive programs run during the warm months.
