Memaloose Point

Memaloose Point offers improved motorized boat access to Tillamook Bay and the Tillamook River. Located off Bayocean Road in Tillamook, this facility includes a developed launch ramp and dock, making it a convenient put-in for exploring the bay and river system. The site serves as a good entry point for boaters and paddlers looking to access the productive waters of Tillamook Bay.

From this launch, paddlers can explore Tillamook Bay and venture up the Tillamook River, or paddle toward nearby paddling and wildlife viewing opportunities. The area is close to several notable natural areas, including Cape Meares National Wildlife Refuge with its dramatic cliffs and nesting seabirds, and the historic Three Arch Rocks National Wildlife Refuge. These protected areas provide excellent wildlife viewing opportunities for those willing to paddle the surrounding waters.
