Willow Lake has been stocked with legal and larger (12- to 14-inch) rainbow trout 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 62 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.
