Headquarters Boat Ramp

This concrete boat ramp at the Skagit Headquarters Wildlife Area provides access to Freshwater Slough, the South Fork Skagit River, and Skagit Bay—ideal for boaters and kayakers exploring the estuary.

The facility includes one paved ramp, a hand-launch site for kayaks, parking, and ADA-accessible restrooms.

Note that tides significantly affect usability; check tide charts before visiting as low water and strong outgoing currents can make launching difficult.
