About This Access Site
Soos Creek provides vehicle access to the mainstem Green River, a major waterway spanning 382 miles with significant flow averaging nearly 14,000 cubic feet per second. This WDFW-managed access point is popular with kayakers, canoeists, and larger recreational boats, with fishing ramps available for launching. The site offers a convenient takeout location for paddlers running sections of the Green River, particularly those paddling from upstream access points like Whitney Bridge.

**Practical Information:** This is primarily a hand/fishing ramp access point rather than a traditional boat launch. Paddlers should note that amenities are minimal—there are no dedicated restrooms, parking facilities, or camping allowed on-site. A Washington State Discover Pass is recommended for this area. The Green River in this section flows at moderate to swift pace with an average velocity of nearly 4 feet per second and a gradient of 2.4 feet per mile, making it suitable for intermediate paddlers. Plan accordingly for current conditions and water flow, especially during high-water periods.
