About This Access Site
The Dillingham boat ramp provides convenient access to the Nushagak River, a major waterway in southwest Alaska. This access site is located in the town of Dillingham, situated at the mouth of the Nushagak River where it flows into Nushagak Bay and Bristol Bay.

The ramp is suitable for launching kayaks, canoes, and small motorized boats to explore the Nushagak River. The river is a large, meandering waterway with a moderate current, making it well-suited for paddling trips and motor boating. Nearby, the Togiak National Wildlife Refuge offers additional opportunities for wildlife viewing and wilderness exploration along the river's banks.

Dillingham serves as a regional transportation hub, with scheduled air service from Anchorage. Boaters and paddlers can use the boat ramp to access the Nushagak River, whether planning a day trip or a multi-day adventure further upstream. The ramp provides a convenient take-out point for those completing river runs or excursions within the Nushagak Bay area.
