About This Access Site
Triton Cove State Park offers a well-maintained ADA-accessible boat ramp with 100 feet of handling dock on Hood Canal's western shore near Brinnon. The 29-acre day-use park provides ample parking for vehicles with trailers, plus picnic tables and vault toilet facilities. Note that the floating dock is seasonally removed in November and reinstalled in May. A Natural Investment Permit or combination of Discover Pass and daily launch permit is required for access.

This saltwater access point provides 555 feet of shoreline suitable for near-shore fishing and paddling. However, paddlers should be aware that **the boat ramp area is the only safe water access**—landing on the rocky shore north of the ramp is not recommended. Hood Canal wind can be a significant hazard, so check conditions before launching, particularly for kayakers and canoeists. The cove's protected waters are best suited for day trips and fishing rather than open-water exploration.

Nearby camping options include Collins Campground and Hamma Hamma Campground within 10 miles for those planning a multi-day outing in the area.
