North Fork Nooksack Access

This managed river access site near Maple Falls provides paddlers and boaters with a designated put-in/take-out along the North Fork Nooksack River, featuring a small parking area, trash receptacles, and portable restroom facilities.

Located between the Horseshoe Bend and Welcome Bridge access points (19 miles apart), it addresses a critical gap that previously forced recreationists to illegally trespass, and also serves as a walk-in access point to nearby Whatcom Land Trust property.

The site helps protect sensitive riparian habitat while improving vehicle and pedestrian safety with off-road parking.
