There is still time to get in some fishing before ice-up. Quartz Lake is stocked with Arctic char, king salmon, rainbow trout, and coho salmon. This 1500-acre lake has two distinct basins. Fishing from shore or dock is possible, but the best fishing can be had from a boat or canoe.

Quartz is a very productive lake and grows fish rather quickly, so it is possible to catch nice-sized fish. Try using shrimp, salmon eggs, or spinners. The daily bag and possession limit is 10 in combination of species, only one may be over 18 inches in length.

Quartz Lake State Recreation Area has 16 campsites in the loop and 87 parking/camping sites in the parking lot development. Facilities also include picnic sites, a picnic shelter, swimming area, two boat launches, and a handicap accessible fishing dock. A commercial business operates a boat rental operation in the park. There are some nice hiking trails on the complex for when the fishing is slow.

There are two public use cabins for rent on Quartz Lake. Read more……
