Sherwood Creek

Sherwood Creek is a scenic creek in Mason County, Washington that originates from Mason Lake and flows through the town of Allyn before emptying into Case Inlet. This access site offers a convenient hand-launch point for kayakers and canoeists exploring this beginner-friendly waterway. The site features a parking lot and is open year-round, making it accessible for casual paddling trips.

**What to Expect:** This is a hand-launch access area with no developed boat ramp, so expect to carry your vessel from the parking area to the water. There are no restroom facilities or ADA accommodations on-site. The creek itself is popular with local paddlers and offers a peaceful paddling experience through a residential area before reaching the broader waters of Case Inlet. With beginner-level paddling characteristics, Sherwood Creek is well-suited for families and those new to paddling.

**Planning Your Visit:** Plan to spend time on the water accordingly, as hand-launch sites typically have parking time limits. The creek's proximity to Allyn makes it a good option for half-day paddles or casual exploration. Bring all necessary supplies, as facilities are limited at this access point.
