The Little Nestucca Boat Ramp in Cloverdale provides access to the Little Nestucca River, a scenic waterway in Tillamook County. Located near Highway 101, this ramp serves paddlers and boaters looking to explore the river and its convergence with the Nestucca River. The area offers good opportunities for kayaking and canoeing, with relatively gentle conditions suitable for various skill levels.
This access point is ideally positioned for exploring the 1,202-acre Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge, where the two rivers meet. While the refuge itself doesn't provide boat launches, paddlers can easily access it from this ramp. The surrounding area offers several camping options within 10 miles, including reservable campgrounds at Castle Rock, Hebo Lake, and Sand Lake Recreation Area, making it convenient for multi-day paddling trips.
Plan to arrive during daylight hours and check water conditions before launching. The proximity to Cloverdale and Pacific City means basic services and supplies are nearby. For current conditions and any access updates, contact local Tillamook County parks or recreation departments.
