South Bend

Welcome to the city of South Bend!  You have discovered the gateway to Willapa Bay.  One of the most pristine estuaries in the nation, Willapa Bay offers you an incredible opportunity to view nature at its best.  From bald eagles to hawks and egrets, from coyotes to deer and majestic Roosevelt elk, from hemlock trees to alder, pine or fir, South Bend is your doorstep to adventure.

Hop into your canoe or kayak and launch from our new recreational dock or use our wonderful boat launch for your larger boats at the south end of town to cruise the Willapa River system and do some fishing, crabbing or just enjoy the relaxation of boating on the Willapa.
