Ballard Bridge

Places : US : Washington State : Ballard Bridge

[edit] Where Is It?

The ramps are one block East of the bridge on the North side of the Ship Canal.

[edit] Facilities

Plenty of free parking, two public concrete ramps, two public piers, portable toilet.

[edit] On the Water

This is the closest launch spot for the Chittendon Locks; It's about one mile inland. Lots of fishing boats, dry docks and old marinas. Paddling through the locks out into the Puget Sound is a favorite trip of mine.

[edit] Cautions

This is a high traffic area. Lots of large vessels around.
