Located in Port Orford near the intersection of California and 9th Street, the Pinehurst boat ramp offers a convenient gravel launch area with a gentle slope, making it accessible for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorboats. The ramp provides direct access to Garrison Lake, a scenic coastal water body where a dune separates the lake from the Pacific Ocean to the west. This location is ideal for paddlers looking to explore a protected inland water system.
The immediate area offers both water recreation and beach access, with a short walk northward along the west shore providing good fishing opportunities. Note that water levels fluctuate seasonally, so conditions may vary throughout the year. Two nearby campgrounds—Edson Creek Camping and Edson Creek Campground (reservable)—make this a convenient multi-day destination. For current conditions, water level information, or additional details about Garrison Lake access points, contact the Myrtlewood Field Office of the Bureau of Land Management at 541-756-0100.
