Willow Lake was stocked with 500 larger (12- to 14-inch) rainbow trout in February and fishing should be good. Willow Lake is at a suitable elevation to remain ice-free but be above the fog, making it a great destination on a nice winter day. The lake is 73 percent full.

The county has had the paved boat ramp closed recently due to low water, but provided a temporary ramp set up in the campground. Access at the park is available during daylight hours in winter.
