Washougal Waterfront Park features a dedicated non-motorized boat launch, offering convenient access to the Lower Columbia River Water Trail. A concrete ramp leads to a gravel beach, making it an ideal launch spot for kayaks and canoes. This site is especially well-suited for paddlers, as it avoids congestion with motorized boats at the nearby Port of Camas-Washougal marina, and there's no need to navigate through the marina to reach the river.A 12-foot-wide paved trail loops around the park, stretching just under a mile.

Within easy walking distance (about 1/2 mile) of the Elochoman Slough Marina the Hotel Cathlamet provides additional lodging in Cathlamet. 

CoHo Charters and Motel is a located along Howerton Way at the Port of Ilwaco Marina. While the motel mostly caters to those going fishing with Coho charters, rooms can be available for non-fishing stay.

Online reservations are not available. Please call 360-642-3333 to book a room.

A relatively new one-lane boat ramp located on the south side of Puget Island on West Sunny Sands Road. The site provides multiple entry options - beach, dock, and ramp. The site is downriver (west) of the Wahkiakum County Ferry which connects Westport, Oregon and Puget Island, Washington. (A bridge connects Puget Island to Cathlamet.) The site is owned and operated by the Port of Wahkiakum No. 2 - the same port that operates Skamokawa Vista Park and County Line Park. 

The Salt Hotel and Pub is located in the Port of Ilwaco business district on Howerton Avenue.

At the southern end of Vancouver Lake, the end of La Frambois Road leads through the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife's Shillapoo Wildlife Area to the shallow waters of the Lake. A paved parking area with a pit toilet provides access to the game lands and parking for up to 40 vehicles with trailers. A gravel lane leads to the lake with a large gravel turnaround near the approximate shoreline. A Discover Pass ($10/day or $30/year) or fishing/hunting license is required for parking and launch access. Discover Passes are not available at the site.

The La Center Shore Launch is a small, shore launch just downstream of the La Center Bridge over the East Fork Lewis River. The site has room for about four cars in a gravel parking area. Turn right off of La Center Road just after passing the bridge into the Breeze Creek Trailhead parking area. Stay to the right on the access road that run underneath the bridge for a very short drive to the site. At the parking area, there is a small kiosk with interpretive signage and a couple of benches. Interpretive signage refers to the site as Timmen's Landing.

On the south shore of the East Fork Lewis River, the public right of way of Pollock Road exends along the river edge to allow a gravel surfaced launch site. Currently there are no official parking or restroom facilities and no parking or launch fees. 

In June 2017, the City of La Center re-developed the site to enhance non-motorized boat access and improve parking and restroom facilities. 

Photos are from April 2017 when the site was closed because of high water. Post-construction photos to come.
