William Hicks County Park in Port Ludlow offers a boat ramp for access to Squamish Harbor, a saltwater marine area in Jefferson County. The facility includes a vault toilet and small picnic area, making it a basic but functional launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and small recreational boats. Note that parking is very limited, so arriving early is recommended, especially during peak season.
**Important tide considerations**: The ramp is functional only at +5 foot tide height or higher, so check tide tables before planning your visit. The ramp is not suitable for launching large boats. A daily fee of $7 applies year-round. Be aware that this is a marine environment (Squamish Harbor), so paddlers should be prepared for saltwater conditions and tidal currents typical of Puget Sound waters.
