Boating

Humboldt Bay and tidal sloughs are open to boating during most tide levels (see tide table). A boat dock for use by non-motorized boats is available to the public at the Hookton Slough Unit, allowing access to South Bay where a popular option is to paddle around the remnant dikes of Teal Island.

Public boat launches for hunting, clamming, fishing, and exploring are available at Fields Landing, Woodley Island, the Arcata Marsh, and Samoa County Park.

For your personal safety, always wear proper flotation devices, carry required safety equipment, and be aware of tides and weather conditions.
