Shinglehouse Slough is a public boat ramp located in Coos County, Oregon. It is a concrete ramp with a single lane and is approximately 20 feet wide. The ramp is maintained by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and is open year-round.

Shinglehouse Slough provides access to the Coos Bay Estuary, which is a large body of water that is connected to the Pacific Ocean. The estuary is known for its diverse wildlife, including salmon, steelhead, and various species of birds. The water in the estuary is brackish, with varying salinity levels depending on the tides.

The boat ramp is suitable for launching small to medium-sized boats, including fishing boats, kayaks, canoes, and personal watercraft. Larger boats may have difficulty accessing the ramp due to its narrow width.

According to the latest information available, Shinglehouse Slough is free to use and does not require any permits or reservations. However, visitors are advised to check the local tide charts and weather conditions before launching their boats, as the conditions in the estuary can change rapidly. Additionally, all boats must abide by Oregon state boating regulations, including safety equipment requirements and speed limits.
