Richwine Gravel Bar is a gravel bar beach located on the Quillayute River within the Quillayute River County Park in Clallam County, Washington. The park provides the primary access for paddlers, with thirteen acres of land, 700 linear feet of river frontage, and ample parking. A vault toilet is available at the park. To reach the launch site, turn off Highway 101 onto LaPush Road, then right onto Mora Road, and finally right onto River Park Road, which is approximately one mile east of the entrance to the Mora Campground in Olympic National Park. The launch is a carry from the parking area to the gravel bar shoreline. The river environment is suitable for floating by kayak or raft. A few miles downstream, the Quillayute River empties into the Pacific Ocean at LaPush and Rialto Beach, which are part of Olympic National Park. The area is subject to tidal influences, with low tides often exposing more of the gravel bar and sand. The beach is a location where metal detecting conditions can be favorable during spring tides associated with new and full moons, indicating significant tidal ranges. The broader region is part of the coastal Olympic Peninsula, offering a scenic river and potential ocean-influenced environment. Paddlers should be aware that the river connects to the open Pacific Ocean, which can introduce significant wave energy, wind, and complex water conditions, especially near the mouth. Always confirm current access, regulations, and safety conditions with local land managers, as rules vary by jurisdiction.
