Termination Point

**Location & Access:**
Termination Point is a public boat ramp located at the west end of the Hood Canal Bridge in Port Ludlow, Jefferson County. This is a convenient launch point for accessing Hood Canal's northern waters. Vehicle and trailer parking is available near the ramp, and a daily use fee applies (check with the Port of Port Townsend for current fees and annual permit options).

**Conditions & Paddling Notes:**
Hood Canal can experience significant wind funneling effects, particularly in the northern reaches near this launch. Conditions can deteriorate quickly, so paddlers should check wind forecasts and be prepared for choppy water. The ramp serves kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats exploring the canal's marine environment. This is a good alternative to other limited ramps in the area and provides solid access for day trips exploring the Hood Canal waterway.

**Nearby Alternatives:**
Other ramps in the region include Misery Point (near Seabeck) and Salisbury County Park (north of the Hood Canal Bridge), as well as launches in Port Townsend such as Point Hudson and Fort Warden.
