Ben Howard Hole Access

Ben Howard Hole Access features a single concrete boat ramp managed by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, located on Ben Howard Road roughly two miles east of SR 203 near Monroe.

The site serves as a popular put-in and take-out point for drift boaters, rafters, and paddlers, with a gravel bar accessible for bank fishing during lower water conditions.

Note that the boat ramp is seasonally closed outside of fishing seasons to reduce resource damage, and a Discover Pass is required for parking.
