Elms Flats Boat Ramp

Elm Flats is a U. S. Forest Service boat ramp on the Pine River featuring a hard concrete launch with a dedicated boardwalk down to the water's edge, making it accessible for both paddlers and anglers.

The facility offers ample parking (20 spaces), vault toilets, picnic areas, and an information kiosk, though a vehicle pass is required.

A carry-in ramp type, it serves as an ideal starting point for float trips, with approximately 2-hour floats to Dobson Bridge downstream.
