Southeast Fish Hatchery Road 36495-37159, Fall City boat launch
Southeast Fish Hatchery Road 36495-37159, Fall City
This boat ramp services the Snoqualmie River, a 45-mile long river that flows through Snoqualmie Pass and empties into the Snohomish River. The Snoqualmie River is a popular destination for kayaking, fishing, and other water activities.
The Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife manages the fish hatchery located adjacent to the boat ramp, which raises and releases salmon and steelhead into the Snoqualmie River. As such, the hatchery and boat ramp are designated for fishing and boating only. Recreational watercraft such as kayaks, canoes, and small motorized boats are permitted on the water, as long as they comply with all state regulations and safety guidelines.

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.

About Southeast Fish Hatchery Road 36495-37159, Fall City
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.
Can I get alerts when conditions change?
