Tennant Lake Wildlife Area access

Tennant Lake Wildlife Area offers boat access to the Nooksack River via two concrete ramps accommodating small boats and hand-launched watercraft (note: low bridge clearance required).

The site features two parking lots, restrooms, and an interpretive center, though the north access via Nielsen Road is temporarily closed through February 1, 2026 for flood repairs—use the Slater Road access instead.

A Discover Pass is required for parking on WDFW lands.
