About This Access Site
Located at 10999 36th Street NW in Gig Harbor, the Horsehead Bay Public Boat Ramp provides convenient access to Puget Sound saltwater paddling and boating. This Pierce County-maintained facility serves as an ideal launch point for kayakers and canoeists exploring the scenic waters around Gig Harbor and the greater Puget Sound region.

From Horsehead Bay, paddlers can access a variety of destinations, including Cutts Island State Park, which is approximately two miles away by boat. The ramp's location makes it suitable for both day trips and longer excursions into Puget Sound. As a saltwater launch, users should be prepared for tidal conditions and marine weather typical of Puget Sound. This facility works well for paddlers of varying skill levels looking to explore the protected waters and islands in the area.
