Burnt Sock Landing is a new public access and recreation site on Holmes Creek, northeast of Vernon in Washington County. Northwest Water Management District recently completed public access and recreational improvements to the site, including road improvements and a parking area. The District has also stabilized the historic dirt boat ramp to significantly reduce sediments flowing into the stream-fed creek and allow users to hand launch canoes, kayaks and small boats.
This exclusive canoe, kayak and small boat launch will improve public access to the District’s northern-most ownership along Holmes Creek and allow paddlers to enjoy the unique natural sights along this undisturbed stretch of the waterway.
