Skagit Headquarters Access offers a concrete boat ramp and hand launch for accessing Freshwater Slough, the South Fork Skagit River, and Skagit Bay—ideal for both boaters and kayakers.

The site features one parking lot, restrooms (including ADA-accessible), and a 2-mile walking trail through tidal marsh habitat.

Note that access is tide-dependent and can be difficult during low water; a Discover Pass is required, and the area is closed during darkness except during hunting season (mid-October through late January).
