This boat launch provides access to the Snoqualmie River near the confluence with the Tolt River in Carnation, serving as a popular put-in point for paddlers exploring the lower Snoqualmie River.

The launch is free with no fees and offers a starting point for approximately 10-mile Class 1 paddling trips downstream, though paddlers should be aware of wood hazards and a mandatory portage a few miles below the launch.

The site is located where NE Carnation Farm Road crosses the Snoqualmie River and has a USGS river gauge nearby for checking flow conditions.
