About This Access Site
The Ferndale access point on the Nooksack River provides convenient launch facilities for kayakers, canoeists, and boaters in Whatcom County. Located just east of the Nooksack River Bridge off Interstate 5 (Exit 260), the main ramp is accessible via Slater Road, with an additional parking area available on Marine Drive off Ferndale Road. This dual-access setup offers flexibility for paddlers planning their trips.
The Nooksack River in this area supports fishing, kayaking, and canoeing activities, making it a popular destination for recreation. Before launching, paddlers should check current river conditions and water levels, as the Nooksack is a dynamic river system that can be affected by seasonal flows and weather. This access point serves as a good jumping-off point for exploring the river in the Ferndale area and surrounding waterways.
