The Richter boat ramp in Fall City provides a convenient launch and takeout point for the Snoqualmie River near Seattle. This ramp is suitable for drift boats and larger inflatables, making it well-suited for motorized boaters and those launching heavier craft. The site includes a portable toilet and trash bins for visitor use. A Washington State Discover Pass is required for parking.
The Snoqualmie River in this area supports salmon and steelhead fishing throughout the year, with seasonal openings managed by WDFW. Paddlers and boaters should check current fishing seasons and any river closures before launching, as the river experiences periodic restrictions based on fish returns. If the area is crowded, the nearby Plum #1 River Access Point (less than a quarter-mile upriver) offers an alternative with slower, deeper eddy waters. This location provides good access for both day trips and fishing excursions on this popular King County waterway.
