North Bay Park

North Bay Park offers convenient public boat access to Duck Lake in Ocean Shores, located just 1 mile from downtown and near the Ocean Shores Airport. The 7.1-acre park is situated on the north end of Duck Lake and can be found on Albatross and Chance a la Mer Avenue. This location provides a good launching point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boaters exploring the lake and nearby waters.

Duck Lake is a relatively sheltered inland water body, making it suitable for paddlers of various skill levels. The area offers opportunities for recreational paddling and poking around nearby bays and shorelines. Note that boating restrictions and motorized boating rules are established by local ordinance rather than state wildlife regulations, so check with Ocean Shores or Grays Harbor County for any specific water use guidelines. The proximity to downtown amenities and the Grays Harbor National Wildlife Refuge adds to the area's recreational value for those interested in exploring both developed facilities and natural wildlife habitat.
