Ladd Marsh Wildlife Area is managed by ODFW for the benefit of wildlife; public use is a secondary goal. For that reason, access management is a little complicated and changes seasonally.
Parking permits are required for parking on Ladd Marsh and a free daily access permit is required for each visit. For information, call the Ladd Marsh headquarters: 541-963-4954. Consult the table below for periods when portions of the area are open to public access. |
