Wilson Creek provides public boat access to the Willapa River in South Bend, Pacific County, located on the west end of town along U.S. Route 101. This small park facility offers kayak launching and includes amenities such as a picnic area, restroom facilities, and mooring floats—making it a convenient entry point for paddlers exploring the Willapa River system.
The launch is situated near the town center (adjacent to local businesses like the 101 Public House), making it easy to locate and access. This access point works well for kayakers and canoeists looking to paddle the lower Willapa River. Note that nearby Monohon Landing (3.4 miles upriver near Raymond) is an alternative public launch option requiring a Discovery Pass. Check current conditions before paddling, as river conditions can vary seasonally.
