About This Access Site
Canyon Creek Trailhead serves as the start of Ruby Creek access point in Whatcom County, Washington. This whitewater access site is located in a mountainous region near Granite Creek. The site appears to be a trailhead-based access point rather than a developed boat launch facility. The USGS data indicates this is a very small headwater creek system with minimal flow characteristics, suggesting this may be suitable only during high water conditions or for experienced paddlers familiar with challenging terrain.
