The park district manages but does not own the Northend Boat Ramp, an easement to shoreline access located on the north end of Vashon Island on Vashon Highway SW directly adjacent to the Vashon Ferry Terminal and a local shoreline restaurant. The property belongs to a private owner, with an easement granted to King County. The site has been improved with a concrete ramp parallel to the ferry dock providing access to the beach for kayaks, canoes, and other hand-carried boats. An interpretive sign overlooking the terminal and ramp provides information about marine plants and animals. Boat ramp parking is provided in the ferry terminal parking lot.
