Bear River Access
Bear River Access
Bear River Access is a boat launch located near Highway 101 in Pacific County, offering access to the Bear River and lower Willapa Bay for kayaking and fishing.
The area features shallow tidal channels and muddy banks typical of Willapa Bay; paddlers should plan trips around tide levels (ideally 5+ feet) to avoid getting stuck in soft mud.
Nearby Dohman Creek provides a better-maintained alternative launch point with a proper ramp and parking area managed by the Willapa National Wildlife Refuge.
