The Tetherow Boat Launch is located in Central Oregon and provides access to the Deschutes River. It is a concrete boat ramp that is suitable for launching small to medium-sized watercraft such as kayaks, canoes, rafts, and drift boats.
The ramp has a width of approximately 20 feet, providing enough space for easy launching and retrieval of boats. The facility is also equipped with restrooms, a parking area for vehicles and trailers, and a boat staging area.
The Deschutes River, which the Tetherow Boat Launch services, is known for its world-class fishing opportunities, particularly for rainbow trout and steelhead. It is also a popular destination for recreational activities such as rafting, kayaking, and camping.
In terms of regulations, the Oregon State Marine Board requires all boaters to carry a valid boater education card while operating a motorized watercraft on the Deschutes River. However, non-motorized watercraft such as kayaks and canoes are not required to have a boater education card.
Overall, the Tetherow Boat Launch provides convenient access to the Deschutes River for a variety of recreational activities.
