About this launch

South Cavalero Road 1017, Camano Island

According to the Washington State Parks website, the South Cavalero Road 1017 boat ramp on Camano Island is a concrete, single-lane ramp that is 15 feet wide. It services Port Susan, which is a large bay in the Puget Sound. The website notes that this ramp is suitable for small watercraft such as kayaks, canoes, and stand-up paddleboards. However, it does not specify any restrictions on other types of watercraft, so it is possible that larger vessels could also be launched from this ramp. The website also mentions that there is a small parking area adjacent to the ramp, but it does not provide any details about the size or capacity of the lot. Overall, it appears that this boat ramp is primarily intended for recreational use by smaller watercraft on Port Susan.

Boating safety & etiquette

Check the conditions before you launch
Use the streamflow numbers, weather, and wind forecast on this page. High-cfs whitewater requires whitewater-specific craft and skill.
Wear your life jacket
Statistically the single biggest survival factor in a boating incident. State law often requires one per passenger.
File a float plan
Tell someone on shore your put-in, take-out, and expected return time. Especially for multi-day or remote trips.
Yield at the ramp
Prep gear in the parking lot, not on the ramp. Launch and clear quickly so others can use the lane.
Clean, drain, dry
Inspect, clean, drain and dry your boat between waters to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species.

FAQ

About South Cavalero Road 1017, Camano Island

Can I launch a motorboat here?

Most Snoflo-tracked launches support motorboats; check the operator for any horsepower restrictions, paddle-only zones, or seasonal closures.

How fresh is the streamflow data?

USGS streamgauges report continuously (every 15 minutes); the table on this page pulls the latest reading at page load.

Is there a fee?

Many federal and state boat launches charge a day-use fee. Check the operator's site before driving out.

What boat is right for these conditions?

Use the nearby streamflow numbers and river-run panel on this page to gauge current conditions. Wider, slower water is friendly for casual paddling and powerboats; high-cfs whitewater requires whitewater-specific craft and skill.
