About This Access Site
Bridge One is a hand-launch access point on the Methow River near Pateros in Okanogan County. This site offers a convenient put-in for kayakers and canoeists looking to paddle the Methow. The access includes a parking lot with ADA-accessible parking and restroom facilities, making it a well-developed launch point for day trips or multiday river adventures.

This is a hand-launch facility rather than a developed boat ramp, so paddlers should be prepared to carry their craft to the water. It's an ideal starting point for recreational paddling on the Methow River in this region. Check current river conditions and water levels before heading out, as flow can vary seasonally. The nearby town of Pateros provides basic services if you need supplies before or after your trip.
