Sollie Smith

Located at the junction of Wilson River Loop and Latimer Road in Tillamook, Sollie Smith offers public motorized and paddle craft access to the Wilson River. The ramp features a concrete launch area and parking, making it a convenient put-in point for kayakers, canoeists, and boaters exploring this coastal river system. The site is managed as a public access area with a no-camping policy.

The Wilson River offers paddling opportunities through the scenic Coast Ranges, with multiple access points downstream at Mills Bridge, Siskeyville, and Vanderzanden. Water levels and navigability vary seasonally, and paddlers should be prepared for potential shallow areas that may require portaging during lower water periods. The proximity to Cape Meares and Three Arch Rocks National Wildlife Refuges adds scenic value to trips in the area, though paddlers should be aware of tidal influences and ocean conditions if paddling toward the river's mouth.
