ATTENTION: Liberty Lake water access area/Boat Launch in Spokane County will be closed from 7 a.m. on Thursday, July 21 until 7 a.m. Friday, July 22. The closure is needed to provide space for a contractor to complete warranty work to better seal chip sealing to the parking lot that was completed earlier this year. We understand the inconvenience this closure may present to access area users and are making every attempt to complete this work quickly.

Liberty Lake (711 acres) for years has been a popular water-skiing lake due to it being a warm and flat-water lake. Sailing is also very popular on this lake due to the thermal winds that come off the hills from the south and winds from the Spokane valley from the desert. In the 1980’s Liberty Lake was the official site of a Hobie catamaran sailing fleet. Many sailors in the area still remember the great regattas that took place on this lake.
