Pacific City Sporting Goods & Marina offers a convenient boat ramp for accessing the Nestucca River near Cloverdale in Tillamook County. Located in Pacific City, this full-service facility provides more than just launch access—paddlers and boaters can rent kayaks, purchase fishing supplies, grab crabbing equipment, and stock up on camping and RV gear. The marina's on-site resources make it an ideal base for exploring the lower Nestucca River and nearby waters.
The launch provides direct access to the Nestucca River, with opportunities to paddle downstream toward Nestucca Bay and explore the confluence with the Little Nestucca River. The area is popular for kayaking, canoeing, fishing, and crabbing. Several campgrounds are located within 10 miles, including the reservable Castle Rock Group Campground and East Dunes Campground at Sand Lake Recreation Area, making it easy to combine a multi-day paddling trip with camping. The nearby Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge (1,202 acres) offers scenic paddling opportunities where the two rivers converge.
