Pleasant Harbor

Pleasant Harbor offers a well-maintained boat ramp and parking area on Hood Canal near Brinnon, providing excellent access to the west shore of the canal between the Dosewallops and Duckabush river estuaries. A **Discover Pass or Vehicle Access Pass is required** for vehicle access. The ramp features easy access for trailered vessels and a nearby marina with amenities for boaters. Note that access to the northern and southern stretches of canal is best at **high tide only**.

**Practical Information:** A daily use fee applies for the boat ramp ($10/day or $45 for an annual permit through the Port of Port Townsend). Parking is available for vehicles and trailers. For kayakers and canoeists, this is an ideal launch point for exploring the scenic Hood Canal shoreline. Two nearby campgrounds—Collins Campground and Falls View Campground—are within 10 miles if you're planning an extended trip.
