Palix River Access

Palix River Access features a concrete boat launch located on U. S. Route 101 just south of the Bay Center turnoff, providing access to the upper Palix River and its scenic tidal delta with extensive wildlife viewing opportunities.

The launch serves as a primary access point for paddlers and boaters exploring the Palix River system, including the North Fork, Middle Fork, and South Fork, with nearby camping available at Bush Pioneer County Park.

A Discover Pass is required for access to this Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife facility.
