9th Street Landing and Rayonier Point

Located in Hoquiam along the lower Hoquiam River, this boat ramp provides access to a tidal river system where the Hoquiam joins the North Channel and connects to the Chehalis River. The site is managed by the Port of Grays Harbor and offers a public launch facility suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorboats. Given its location in the lower estuary near Grays Harbor, expect saltwater influence and tidal conditions that will affect water levels and flow.

Before launching, check current conditions with local authorities, as the ramp's status may be affected by weather, tides, maintenance, or special events. This access point works well for paddlers interested in exploring the lower river system and nearby Grays Harbor National Wildlife Refuge, an important mudflat habitat area. Be prepared for tidal paddling and variable conditions typical of coastal river systems.
