Boat Launch Sites
Upper Pitt/China Hole
Located on Hwy 142 at mile marker 10.1 1/8 of a mile upstream from the Pitt Bridge. This is an unimproved landing. This is a better launch/take out than lower pitt especially during low water. 4x4 recommended but not necessary.
Lower Pitt
Located on Hwy 142 at mile marker 10 directly below the Pitt Bridge. This is an unimproved landing, very rocky during low water. Try Upper Pitt. Take the left channel or you will be pulling your boat up river to the take out. 4x4 recommended but not necessary. Both entrances are rocky the second entrance is a steep downhill entrance.
9 Mile/3 Pines
Located on Hwy 142 at mile marker 8.2. This is an unimproved landing with a tall sandy bank. Not many rocks but similar to Slide In. Okay for launching but not the best for take outs. However there is a lot of parking.
7 Mile
Located on Hwy 142 at mile marker 7.2. This is an unimproved landing but is a gentle sandy slope into the water. The turn off is tough to see in the trees.
5 Mile
Located on Hwy 142 at mile marker 5.5. This is an unimproved landing but with a gentle slope into the water. Warning! This is the last take out before Dillacorte Rapids and the Klickitat Gorge, 2 places you do not want to be in a drift boat or raft. About half a mile down the road is a nice F&W primitive campground (free with permit).
