Raymond tides

Positioned further inland along the tidal reaches of the Willapa River, Raymond is defined by lush estuarine marshes and river channels that rise and fall significantly with the Pacific tide. Ocean surfing and tide pooling do not occur here, but the river system offers excellent tidally influenced fishing, kayaking, and access to downstream crabbing. Keeping track of tide charts is crucial for watercraft recreation, as low tides expose vast mudbanks along the Willapa River that can ground small boats and render docks inaccessible.
