This paved boat launch at the Skagit Headquarters Wildlife Area provides access to Freshwater Slough, the Skagit Estuary, and Skagit Bay, making it popular with both boaters and kayakers. A hand launch site is also available near the parking area for kayakers.

Be aware that the ramp can be difficult to use during low water and strong currents may develop during outgoing tides, so check tide charts before visiting.
