Buck's Landing is a 33-acre public boat ramp on Gallinas Creek in San Rafael offering free parking, picnic tables, and restrooms—ideal for kayaking and canoeing in calm waters suitable for all skill levels.

The recently renovated dock and ramp (upgraded by Marin County Parks in 2020) provide easy water access, though parking is limited and fills quickly on summer weekends.

Check tide charts before launching, as tides significantly affect beach access and boat launching conditions.
