Swan Bay is a public boat ramp providing access to Ozette Lake near Sekiu, Washington, within Clallam County on the Olympic Peninsula. The launch is a concrete boat ramp suitable for kayaks, canoes, and small boats, and is managed by the National Park Service, which also provides a restroom facility. Parking is available at the site. The water body is Ozette Lake, a large freshwater lake, not a coastal bay. Paddling conditions are calm, flat, and sheltered, making it suitable for beginners and first-time paddlers. There are no significant currents, wave hazards, or tidal influences to consider, as it is an inland lake. The best seasons for paddling are from spring through fall, specifically March to November, with morning hours noted for offering the calmest water and optimal wildlife viewing. The surrounding environment is characterized by the lush, green waterways typical of the Pacific Northwest. The area offers a tranquil and scenic paddling experience. Paddlers are advised to hug the shoreline for interesting scenery and easier paddling. Wildlife viewing is a noted activity.
