Woodard Bay Access provides a seasonal kayak launch (closed September 1 to April 15 for wildlife protection) and parking area with restrooms at the trailhead for accessing Puget Sound's five miles of undeveloped shoreline.

The site requires a Washington Discover Pass for parking and offers nearby trail access, though visitors must maintain a 100-yard distance from harbor seals and stay away from the pier to protect bat colonies.

Additional parking without a pass fee is available at the nearby Chehalis Western Trail trailhead, about a 10-minute walk away.
