About

Frenchman Hills 3 Boat Launch is a boat launch in Washington, set on land in the Desert unit managed by State Fish and Wildlife. The closest town is Royal City, about 5.6 miles away. Late spring and early fall tend to be the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from the weather station at Smyrna, a little over 10 miles away, show May highs near 77°F and September highs near 82°F, while July and August average above 90°F. The station sits roughly 560 feet lower than the launch, so temperatures here may run slightly cooler. For more time on the water, Lower Crab Creek is a canoeing route about 10 miles away.
