My son you may now him as EAmon Hoffman. He is in a wheel chair/ cruches and Is dying to get some pinks. I know there is accesabilty on the cowlitz river and the kalama. I havent been to a lot of pink rivers sense I was a teenager. And they half changed a lot by just driving by them. I'm trying to find a good rocky bank for him too sit down in a chair and fish. Any reccamadations would help.

WOW ..none jump'd in to help ya huh !!??!?!?!!

i'm pretty sure there's a page in the F&W site about hadicap accessibility..
i'm too far south to have local knowledge in yor area but ...
down here on the Nisqualy there is a area so designated ...has paved parking .. a concrete area to fish with a pipe railing and pole holders ..just around the corner next to the Luhr Beach boat ramp is nice raised dock (end of McAllister Creek i think) where you can fish and hang a crap trap at the same time...if your plan'n a trip down this far south to fish/explore you might goog and go check out the Riverbend (i think) campground ... its just nextdoor/upriver from the handicap hole on the Nasty and for a few buck$ you can drive your rig right out on the gravel bars and park rrright next to the river...and if ya ask they'll let ya drive bk in there and check it out before ya decide to pay

... GL to ya's .. DOG

You can go to the Hoodsport Hatchery and fish for pinks/kings. They have an area blocked off for handicap people to fish.

There is a few spots on the green. You can fish across from the golf course in auburn at the park. There is a spot that has a good size beach that you can help him get on and easy pickins there. Also upriver a lil there is another decent beach that has enough beach for a wheelchair. Up towards the 18 overpass there is an area that driftboats launch. Its not that great there but should be enough room for a chair. Up past that there is flaming geyser area. There is acess for a chair around the launch up there. There is a few spots along the Puyallup that should be ok for a chair. Kinda rocky but will work. 115th st go to the end and drive right to the river. lots of room. Around McAlder elementary, think its 96th st there is an area that you could get him into but not real easy. There is a gate and a small hill to go down. Not sure if that be the best place but Im sure it could be done. Im sure there is more this is all thats comming to mind.
