What is the process to get my paddle craft decontaminated?
All paddle craft must enter the park through the main gate. When you purchase your daily paddle pass ($15) at the gate house, staff notifies ranger staff to meet you at the spray station to spray your craft (paddle craft must be inflated prior to getting the spray if it is an inflatable). You will be required to present your entry receipt to the ranger at the spray station. Rangers will conduct the spray using hot water (no chemicals). Once sprayed, you will receive a wrist band, which indicates your paddle craft has met the ANS protocols and is clear to launch on the lake. Any person(s) utilizing paddle craft must wear valid wristband while recreating at Standley Lake.
I am interested in using paddle craft on the lake. What are my options?
There are several options. There is an annual $200 paddle craft permit, which covers up to two paddle craft per permit. You also have the option of paying daily, which is $15 for one paddle craft and $5 for each additional paddle craft. The daily paddle pass also includes park entry for the day. Another option is to purchase a $60 annual pass (which gets your vehicle into the park) and then pay a discounted rate of $8 per day (this covers one paddle craft, $5 will be charged for each additional paddle craft). All paddle craft must be sprayed before launching onto Standley Lake in accordance with ANS regulations.
What are the PFD (personal flotation device) requirements to paddle on Standley Lake?
There must be a PFD available for each person utilizing paddle craft. All children under the age of 13 must wear a properly fitting PFD at all times.
What kind of fish are there in Standley Lake?
