This bankside access point near Peshastin offers a rarely-used put-in for paddlers exploring the Wenatchee River. Note that there is **no formal boat ramp** at this location—it's simply a slow-water eddy along the riverbank suitable for hand-launching kayaks and canoes. A **Washington Discover Pass is required** for access. The site includes a pit toilet and basic parking area, making it a rustic option for those seeking a quieter entry point, though it's not ideal for larger boats or rafting groups due to limited infrastructure.
The Wenatchee River in this section moves relatively gently, making it accessible for paddlers of varying skill levels. Nearby camping is available at Eightmile Campground and Icicle Group Campground (both within 10 miles and reservable), making this a convenient basecamp for a multi-day paddling trip. For more developed boat launch facilities with amenities, paddlers may want to explore other access points in the greater Wenatchee area, such as those in Riverfront Park or Lake Wenatchee State Park downstream.
