Misery Point is a popular launch site on Hood Canal near Seabeck, offering boat access to this scenic saltwater body. **A Discover Pass is required to use this facility.** The ramp includes basic amenities such as a pit toilet. This is the recommended access method compared to foot access via private timber roads, making it convenient for kayakers, canoeists, and boaters heading out on the canal.
**Important tidal considerations:** Be aware that Misery Point can become unusable at low tide, so plan your launch time accordingly. Given Hood Canal's tidal ranges, arriving early and checking tide tables before your trip is essential. The site provides access to popular paddling destinations including Toandos Peninsula, Dosewallips, and Pleasant Harbor, making it a good base for day trips or exploring the scenic upper Hood Canal region.
Collins Campground is the nearest developed camping option within 10 miles, offering overnight options for paddlers planning multi-day trips in the area.
