Leaburg Landing boat launch
Leaburg Landing
The Leaburg Landing boat ramp is a concrete, four-lane ramp that can accommodate a variety of watercraft. The ramp is 10 feet wide and has a gentle slope, which makes it easy to launch and recover boats. The parking lot adjacent to the ramp has space for about 30 vehicles and trailers.
The McKenzie River, which is serviced by the Leaburg Landing boat ramp, is a popular destination for kayaking, canoeing, fishing, and other water-based activities. The river is known for its clear water, scenic beauty, and abundant wildlife. Some of the popular fish species found in the river include rainbow trout, cutthroat trout, and Chinook salmon.
The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife manages the McKenzie River, and they have specific rules and regulations regarding the use of watercraft on the river. Motorized boats are allowed on the river, but they must comply with certain speed and noise restrictions. Kayaks, canoes, and other paddlecraft are also permitted on the river, but users must wear personal flotation devices at all times.
Overall, Leaburg Landing is a well-maintained boat ramp that provides easy access to one of Oregon's most beautiful waterways. Its location and amenities make it a popular destination for boaters and paddlers alike.

Boating safety & etiquette
- Check the conditions before you launch
- Use the streamflow numbers, weather, and wind forecast on this page. High-cfs whitewater requires whitewater-specific craft and skill.
- Wear your life jacket
- Statistically the single biggest survival factor in a boating incident. State law often requires one per passenger.
- File a float plan
- Tell someone on shore your put-in, take-out, and expected return time. Especially for multi-day or remote trips.
- Yield at the ramp
- Prep gear in the parking lot, not on the ramp. Launch and clear quickly so others can use the lane.
- Clean, drain, dry
- Inspect, clean, drain and dry your boat between waters to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species.
Set push alerts in the Snoflo app
Save Leaburg Landing as a favorite, set a discharge threshold or a wind/precipitation alert, and the iOS app will push the moment conditions cross.
About Leaburg Landing
Can I launch a motorboat here?
Most Snoflo-tracked launches support motorboats; check the operator for any horsepower restrictions, paddle-only zones, or seasonal closures.
How fresh is the streamflow data?
USGS streamgauges report continuously (every 15 minutes); the table on this page pulls the latest reading at page load.
Is there a fee?
Many federal and state boat launches charge a day-use fee. Check the operator's site before driving out.
What boat is right for these conditions?
Use the nearby streamflow numbers and river-run panel on this page to gauge current conditions. Wider, slower water is friendly for casual paddling and powerboats; high-cfs whitewater requires whitewater-specific craft and skill.
Can I get alerts when conditions change?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this launch, set a threshold (discharge, wind), and you'll get a push the moment it crosses.
