Haller Lake (15 acres): Located in North Seattle at Meridian Avenue North and 125th North. Year-round open season. The lake offers primarily largemouth bass and yellow perch. Catchable-size rainbow trout are planted annually in the spring. Haller is accessed via a small clearing to a limited shore fishing area; there is no boat launch, but car-toppers and inflatable rafts and similar devices can be carried from Meridian on the north shore and North 125th Avenue at the west end of the lake.

I just went to check out the 125 St access point today. Looks like you would have to carry your 7 ft boat by hand down to the lake via gravel path. Parking is also limited because the access point is at the end of a residential street. Try a float tube if you have one.

Maybe buy wheels for the stern of the boat. That way you can pretend it's a wheelbarrow and that should work.

shouldnt be a problem as i have had to carry it before

It is a little of a carry, but should be doable. It is a little downhill to the lake (which means up hill out). It is a tiny lake, you can cover the whole thing in 2-3 hours. Lots of lilly pads (more lilli pads than accessable docks I think). Make sure to heed the no parking signs. You can't park at the end of the road, you have to park in front of the houses on the access road (I go to the end of the road and drop my gear, then go park).
