Blaine

The Blaine Harbor boat ramp in Whatcom County is a year-round, three-lane paved facility operated by the Port of Bellingham, making it a reliable access point for paddlers and trailer boaters of all experience levels. The ramp is conveniently located adjacent to the Blaine Harbor marina and is usable at all tide levels, which is particularly valuable for kayakers and canoeists planning trips on Bellingham Bay. The facility is easily accessible for both locals and visitors, and restroom facilities plus a nearby coffee shop add to its convenience.

The harbor office offers short-term docking options for those needing temporary moorage, and annual passes are available for purchase at both the Blaine and Squalicum Harbor offices. Note that Port of Bellingham boat launches operate independently of the Washington State Parks launch program. If you're exploring alternatives in the area, the nearby Fairhaven Boat Ramp (N48°43.292' W122°30.555') offers a smaller paved option with free parking and drive-to-water-edge loading near the train station.
