There is a boat launch just a short ways downstream of the 101 bridge at the old trestle. This is less than a mile upstream of Stevens Creek hatchery. The popular float used to be from there downstream to Moody Road, but that was closed off a couple years ago unfortunately. Now you have to continue all the way to Ryn Van bar, which makes for a pretty long drift. These used to make two separate day long floats. The increased length requires that you really high grade the water you fish, or you won't make it to Ryn Van's by dark. You can also make a fairly short drift from Ryn Van down to Bethel, which is a really rough take out (read: have a long line for your winch). There is a good boat ramp a couple miles downstream of Bethel, but the river becomes really slow and tanky, and I've never gone that far.

Losing the Moody Road access has really complicated drifting the Humptulips River.

Sincerely,
